Er, this *is* community support.
... with no luck and I'm hoping you can help me. I have Open Office
Impress version 4.1.5 on a Windows 8.1 64bit OS. I love your free
programs since I can't afford the competitors.
They are not mine, of course.
I am having one major issue: I am wanting editable text fields
during the slideshow just like in Microsoft Powerpoint. I've seen
videos that this can be done.
Do you mean that you have seen it done in Microsoft Powerpoint or in
OpenOffice (Impress)?
Can you please explain to me how to do this step by step?
It seems you've been told this facility isn't available.
What is it that you want to do with the resulting presentation? You
can include editable text boxes in either a presentation (Impress) or
a drawing (Draw) document, and these will behave very similarly to
what you are hoping for. There are some disadvantages:
o You need to have the document in edit mode during use - rather than
in a mode that protects the rest of your content, as the "slide show"
function of a presentation would.
o This means that the document cannot fill the screen.
o Users need to know to double-click the border of a text box in
order to edit its contained text rather than simply clicking inside
it. That will be no problem for you in a demonstration, but may make
individual use by, say, pupils less smooth.
But this could be a workaround.
I trust this helps.
