Hi,

presentation and went to print it. In the preview of the slides, two of
them are grayed out for some reason, and those two will not print, but
the other slides do. They all look fine when you view the presentation
as a slide show. Can anyone recommend some good tutorials about getting
started with and using Impress, in either text form or YouTube videos?
If anyone would like to view the Impress show, I can upload it.

Thank you so much.

Could it be that he has accidentally hidden those slides?

With Impress open you see a sliding bar to the left with thumbs of all slides
(at least that is the default setup). Select one of the slides in question in
that sidebar and you'll see three grey icons appearing. The hints that appear
when the mouse it over such a thumb.show you what they do. It could be that he
has accidentally clicked one of those icons hiding the slides that won't
print.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Impress Question

[Lyle Briggs]

The problem is that most pages have a link to what is one of several help 
pages. 
Linking to the specific help page is not a problem. The problem is returning to 
their position in the presentation which would be the last slide they had 
viewed, and could potentially be one of a possible 15 slides.

That is why the "Go to last slide viewed" in Powerpoint was perfect. 

Thanks,
Lyle

Interesting option, that I never saw in Impress.

The only relative simple thing I can think of, is using the possibilities from 
SlideShow>Interaction.
If jumping from one slide to another and back is not just 'ad random', but 
related to some logic in your presentation, then one or few prepared, invisible 
or nicely integrated objects that send (on click) to a named object on another 
slide, will do it.

Cor

 Hello,

I can see in the Interaction combobox this item: Goto page or object (Im 
translating from my spanish version maybe its not the same in english) 
with it you can select other pages inside the actual presentation I 
guess is your solution??
