Text words need shadow feature

[EarnestAl]

After playing around a bit, I find that there is a way to have the shadow on letters whether saved in .odp or .pptx. You need to create a drawing style.

1. Open the Styles pane in the Sidebar. Right click Object with no fill and no line and select New
   

2. Name it “Text Shadow” or some suitable name in the Organiser tab

3. Switch to the Shadowing tab and tick Use shadow, adjust as needed. OK

4. Select the text in the text box, then double-click the new style “Text Shadow” in the Styles pane

5. Save as .odp and .pptx and they look the same in their respective programs

In addition to the link I gave earlier for the Impress Guide, you could also look at this page but most will be taken from information already in the Impress Guide, Faq/Impress - The Document Foundation Wiki

@DeborahG

how do I add clicks throughout one slide? I have bullet points to add just to one slide.

To add a bullet point each click:

1. Select the text frame with the bullet points
2. Open the Animation pane in the Sidebar
3. Click on the button + Add and select an effect from the category Entrance
