I notice, however, that if I use Brian's method and save the LO presentation as a PDF, the stepping effect isn't preserved. I can preserve it through the method of creating duplicate slides and adding new bullets to each slide.

That was it. Gordon, I have used LyX and LaTeX and it is deceptively easy in those systems. The command for stepping is included in various Beamer templates. My problem is I have a hard drive full of documents in various formats because I keep switching between LO and LyX and LaTeX, etc. I want to settle in on one system rather than bounce from one to the other.

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.
