Actually, I was going to work with another file:
creating_new_presentation.sxw. As I began working in it to update the
snapshots, I noticed this same problem. I then downloaded the GS with
Impress file to see how that handled the changes from 1.1.x to 2.x.
As far as rewriting the GS Impress chapter, I will see what I can
do. It is going to be a slow go for a while. I have used Impress to
create some simple slide shows, but this GS chapter is going to have be
be a little more advanced than what I have already done.
