But I must say, I have some difficulty considering the text handling offered by Impress to be anything resembling "normal" when it seems to be unable to add blank lines in response to a carriage return :-) Sorry to be so tardy in response, but we came down with some sort of a nasty bug that's pretty much laid us low for several days. I'm still suspicious that somehow my copy of OO V2 has been crippled - I've had responses from people who tried the same recommendations I tried and got the same non-results I've gotten. This thing should really be fairly simple, and perhaps would be were the docs somewhat more forthcoming. Part of my problem is that I've never tried creating a presentation slide show before, and I have always had some serious difficulty in working out how to deal with text when it is being treated as part of a graphics block - it just behaves in too many facets entirely differently from the way it does in a word processor.
