Ah. I see, useful. I don't believe this is inbuilt into Impress (no doubt someone will correct me if I'm wrong!); however, much the same could be done by creating the slide show, starting an audio recorder/editor such as audacity, and recording the narration, then proceeding much as above. You then also get the chance to edit the sound file (remove the ums, ers and coughs perhaps!), although the procedure would be more complicated. Thinking about it, if you don't edit the sound file, you'd probably only need the one pass with care.
