In OO Impress, on my notes pages, the slide itself appears only on the first page, and there it is actually portrait-shaped while my actual slides have the usual landscape format, in other words: the aspect ratio is strongly changed.

The problem may be caused by the fact that I used a Powerpoint skeleton from my university and converted that to .odp. But then I suppose I must be able to repair the above problem? Or is this an OO bug? I'd love to use OO Impress because I hate all these people virtually equating a computer slides presentation to "a powerpoint".

A bit of experimentation suggests that your notes were perhaps originally set up to print on landscape pages. Changing the page orientation from landscape to portrait creates something like the effect you describe.

I'm guessing, but try this:
o  Click the Notes tab.
o  Click the slide image (to show the eight green handles).
o Go to Format | Position and Size... | Position and Size | Protect, and remove the tick from Size. o Drag the handles to resize the slide image. Hold the Shift key down whilst doing so if you wish to preserve the aspect ratio (but not otherwise).

Does that help?
