Do you need the slide show to be in a OpenOffice.org's format?
What are you going to use it for?
Find the best software for the job you need to do. OOo does a lot of
good
things, but it is not a do all package.
I'm doing a talk before a large group chronicling our relief,
recovery, and rebuilding efforts following Hurricane Katrina. I want
to accompany the talk with images of the progress. I'll import all the
jpg images into my presentation and then add a few text slides here
and there as I move through the timeline and add our future plans and
ongoing needs at the end. I'll plug a projector into my laptop to show
the slides. I guess there are other ways I could present the
information, but Openoffice.org presentation seems a suitable format.
I just was hoping for an easier way to add all the images and it looks
like I found it in this extension. Thanks.
This gives more info. A standard presentation going on in the background.
The slide show extension did create a 51 image folder to a slide show.
I would
go to the "slide transition" option and use the same, simple, transition
for the
photos. Of course you can make part of the presentation flow automatically
and have it stop a one point, then use the mouse click or "enter" button to
page through the text/image slides that has focusable information.
I am glad there is someone who it talking about the slow process of getting
my wife's brother's birth place back to something that may look like what
it was. How many homes were never either fixed up or replaced? Not many
as I am told. Too few promises for money for the insurance companies and
the government never got into the hands of the poor and too much got
into the
hands of the rip-off artist who called themselves "contractors".
We, in Elmira NY, had our big flood in 1972. There was a song called
"It Sprinkled,
it Rained, and it Poured" about the hurricane that stalled out over the
state and
cause so much flooding and destruction that the Pennsylvania Railroad
lost so many
bridges that the company went out of business. So, I know what a flood
can do
for our county seat ( Elmira) and the surrounding areas. Multiply that
by 20, 50,
100, 1000, and you get Katrina.
By the way, Mark Twain may be associated with
the Mississippi, but his wife was born and raised in the Elmira and he
wrote some
of his books here. We have his river-boat pilot house shaped study near
the pond
at Elmira College.
Good Luck.
People have Greensburg Kansas on the Green Channel. We need the same
recovery show about the rebuilding after Katrina's devastation.
