Re: presentations layouts and fonts
JT: How did you get a template fro Star Office? I also used Star Office and any way ay I could recover anything is by copying the text and paste it into Open Office. Jim Lambert -Original Message- From: Julian Thomas Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2013 9:25 PM To: Open Office Apache list Subject: presentations layouts and fonts Something has changed in 4.0.x Previously, I used to be able to select between a number of slide layouts - title only, title and text, title and two columns of text, etc. Now it's hard to find the incantation to bring up these options; they are not identified in the right hand menu. Also, the default font for the slides [using a template I've carried forward from Star Office] is Albany, but if I am composing a slide and try to select a font, it's not an option. Is this a phantom phont?? sigh - jt - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

I may have opened a SO file and then after deleting text, made it into an OO template. jt - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

After what I've been through the past two weeks I really don't want to use any version of MS Office. As far as I know there is at present no OpenOffice Presenation viewer. One can download a free Powerpoint Viewer from Microsoft, which should (but try it!) work with OpenOffice Impress files saved in .ppt (MS Office 97/2000/XP format for presentations); however, one should check that such presentations work correctly with the viewer, as the MS Office formats have been reverse engineered and some subtleties of display may be lost.

Re: Presentations
You have two choices for a portable version to show slides: Portable LibreOffice 3.6.5 which is very recent, and Portable OpenOffice.org 3.2.0 which is rather outdated. Both are available at http://portableapps.com/apps/office. The portable apps people are working to get an agreement on licensing from Apache OpenOffice so they can produce a version for AOO 3.4. Until that time, they recommend a person use Portable OpenOffice. So states the web site if you click on the OpenOffice.org Portable. --Dan On 02/02/2013 11:06 AM, Dale Erwin wrote: There used to be a Portable version of Open Office that one could include on the CD. It is not a viewer but rather the full blown product. It just doesn't have to be installed on the machine. I keep it on my flash drive for when I'm traveling.

Of course, the portable version of OO could be included with the CD. http://portableapps.com/apps/office/openoffice_portable Kadal Amutham wrote: Dear Steve, There is no stand alone viewer for OpenOffice.
