------- Additional comments from kra...@openoffice.org Sat Sep 11 23:08:16 +0000 2010 ------- OpenOffice Version Used: OOo-dev 3.4.0 DEV300m87 (Build:9522 ) Operating System: Windows 7 I was able to verify that Open Office Impress does indeed lack a recording feature by default. However, I was able to find an extension called eVoice that through minimal features allows you to record, play, stop, pause and add a sound file to a selected presentation slide. Although there is an extension that provides the lacked feature, it may be worthwhile to include a built in recording feature for Impress. This will save people from having to find and install the proper extension and also will put Open Office on even footing with MS PowerPoint which already provides this feature. Steps for adding the eVoice extension to Open Office Impress: Step 1: Go to: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/eVoice Step 2: Click “Get it!”, a download window will pop up select “Save File” and click OK Step 3: With Impress already open, click Tools > Extension Manager > Add... Step 4: Browse for the downloaded EVoice.oxt file and click open Step 5: Restart Impress Step 6: Select the presentation slide you wish to record and add a sound clip to Step 7: Click eVoice > Insert (From here you can Record, Play, Stop, Pause) click okay when finished Your newly recorded sound clip will be added to your currently selected presentation slide. When the slide-show is viewed (F5) the sound clip will play when it reaches the slide that contains the clip. Attached below is a screen-shot of what this extension looks like after clicking eVoice > Insert. Alternatively, you can add a pre-recorded sound file to a selected presentation slide. An example of how to do this with the default sound recorder provided with windows is described below. Example steps for recording (out of Impress) and adding the sound file to an Impress presentation slide: Step 1: Open Sound Recorder (comes default with Windows) Step 2: Click Start Recording Step 3: Record a verbal test statement, and click stop recording Step 4: A “Save As” window will pop up, give the file a name and click save Step 5: With an Impress document open, select desired slide and click Insert > Movie and Sound Step 6: Browse for your test recording, select and click the open button. The pre-recorded sound clip will now be added to the currently selected presentation slide. When the slide-show is viewed (F5) the sound clip will play when it reaches the slide that contains the clip. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
