That's probably "presentations" or "Impress".

When I want to step through several bulleted items in a slide, I 
typically create the first slide with one bullet, and then create a 
duplicate slide and add the new bulleted item to the previous one. I 
create as many duplicate slides as I have bullets. I'm wondering if 
there is another way to do this without the need to create several 
slides. If I have 6 bullets, that means creating six slides to get 
the stepping effect through the bullets.


Indeed. And you end up - undesirably - with six slides instead of one 
in both your notes and your handout.


What I'd like to do is create one slide with all six bullets, and 
then tell LO to step through them during my presentation. Is there a 
way to do this?


Surely yes.

o Create your bulleted list of six items.
o Click Custom Animation in the sidebar.
o Let's assume that you want the first item to appear with the main 
part of the slide. Select the second item.

o Click Add... .
o Select the mode of entrance.
o Ensure that under Effect, Start is set as "On click".
o Adjust other options as desired.
o Repeat for the other four items, ensuring that they appear in the 
appropriate order in the Custom Animation panel.


In the slide show, one click will now bring up the new slide with its 
first bulleted item, the next five clicks will add additional items, 
and the next click will proceed to the next slide - as you would expect.


I trust this helps.

Selecting Custom Animation > Plus button > Entrance > Appear for each 
bullet ought to do the trick. 

When you present, move the mouse cursor to the start of a line and click 
the mouse once to reveal the line.

[libreoffice-users] Stepped Presentations

[gordon cooper]

Adding to my previous - Stepped presentations can be achieved in Lyx Beamer,
using their Overlay facility. Have never tried this myself, but from 
comments
noted on the the Lyx Users mail list, Beamer can produce some very 
sophisticated

presentations, but there is a fairly steep learning curve required.

Gordon.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Stepping through bulleted items in Presentation

[gordon cooper]

Have made several Presentations, mostly intended for remote
viewing and so including sychronised voice-overs.

Never found the bullet stepping technique that you wish for, but have
saved time and effort by first making the full slide, with all lines
finished, then copy it the number of times required and finally
step through the set and delete the unwanted lines.  Have found
that this avoids some repetition,  the layout and any fiddling with
spacing etc., is done only once.

The stepped bulleting may be possible in Lyx Beamer, but do not
have it on this machine, so cannot be sure.

Gordon.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Style from selection

[Gary Collins]

Update
It is working now. I guess i must have been doing something wrong before, 
though goodness knows what, its a simple enough procedure.
Thanks for your help,
