Re: [libreoffice-design] Impress(ing) Templates

Wow, you did a very useful, needed and important work! Good job, Jaron! 
I'm reading your critiques and looking the respective templates to add 
my opinion too. Thank you for your big effort! Thanks also for add my 
template and its informations.

Assuming that I'm a really newbie to the Impress advanced usage (only 
almost now I discovery the master slide feature), I accept your help 
with pleasure! Well, my first questions are:
* What is the best step-by-step to setup all the styles of boxes in a 
template? I mean, which the differences between use Styles in a Slide 
and in Master pages.
* Is there a way to create guidelines and snap the content to them? Or 
even better, create snap points in a text box, so is possible to snap 
automatically any object to it, even if is moved or have its size changed?
* It's possibly to setup variables and others fields to presentations?
* How can I create a index (summary) of slides and it's automatically 
updated?

I'm suffering with little bugs too... When I configure a "Outline 3" 
style and save it, the "Outline 1" style is changed to something 
completely different. Also the indentation of some styles [generally 
"Outline 1"] is changed by itself when I switch between slides. And even 
the line spacing is automatically changed from 125% (my setting) to 93% 
or 117%, randomly. Why these numbers? Why not 42%? :P

Those things are really annoying and take a lot of time to correct... So 
if you're experiencing none of these bugs, I'll really thankful to left 
this formating job to you do. Thank you so much in advance for your help!
