Saying you did exactly what I did does not help me any. What
specifically did you do?
I'm not sure that I was as clear as I should have been. There are two
different things that I mentioned in my previous email.
1) To make changes on the master slide, click View, select Master from its
menu, and then select Master Slide from the Master menu. (View > Master >
Master Slide) Modification can then be made to master slide. This is done in
the Workspace area in the center of the OOo Impress window.
2) To modify an individual slide, you can delete frames and objects that are
part of the particular layout format that you chose from the Layout section
of the Task pane. HOWEVER, you can NOT remove anything that is contained in
the master slide this way.
Again, I suggest you download this slide presentation:
http://www.delewis.com/OOo/Simple_Presentation.odp. Remember to right-click
this link and select "save link target as". It has some good information on
how to create a slide show.
