------- Additional comments from rajl...@openoffice.org Sat Sep 11 21:49:06 +0000 2010 ------- I agree with the reporter about the issue that Impress doesn't consolidate the gradient features in one place in which causes complexity. OS: Windows 7 Professional Open Office used: DEV300m87 (OOo-Dev 3.4.0) Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 540 1.86 GHz 2GB RAM 32-bit Attached is a screenshot replicating the steps to work around creating a custom gradient background. 1. Create a new Impress presentation. 2. Under "Format" menu, select "Area...", and then "Area" pop-up will appear. 3. Select "Gradients" tab and create a custom gradient. 4. Press "Add" after all of your changes and give the gradient a name. Then Press "OK" 5. Under "Format" menu, select "Page...", and then "Page Setup" pop-up will appear. 6. Select "Background" tab, and change drop-down under Fill from "None" to "Gradient" 7. Select the gradient you just created and press "OK". Tested issue with Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 & 2007 for Windows 7 The program has one place for gradient features and the interface is consistent whether it is changing the background or a simple shape drawing. Impress should provide a similar design or at least provide a link to "Area" to eliminate above steps 2-4. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
