Hello Paul Version 7.0 of the Impress Guide will be available shortly. I am just waiting for reviews of the chapters and I can then publish the user guide.
In Impress there are Presentation styles and Drawing styles. Presentation styles cannot be deleted or renamed and are used when you create slides using one of the Impress layouts. However, you can modify the style to suit your requirements.Impress layouts use AutoLayout text boxes. Drawing styles are a little more flexible as you can create new ones. Drawing styles are used when you create a text box using the Insert Text Box on the Standard toolbar or the keyboard shortcut F2. You cannot delete the drawing styles that are part of the Impress installation, but you can modify them. Not sure what you mean with parent item 1 and so on. Presentation styles are used for Outline styles and the default format is for bullet points. They go from Outline 1 to Outline 9. Is this what you mean by parent item 1? To create another line without creating another bullet (outline) point, use Shift+Enter when dealing with Presentation styles. The indent of the line is the same as the bullet point, but there is no actual bullet point. This is the same as creating a line break instead of a new paragraph. Working with text, you need the Text Formatting toolbar or the options available in Format on the main menu bar. If the Text Formatting toolbar does not appear when working with text, go to View > Toolbars on the main menu bar and select Text Formatting. Let me know if this helps you.
