Could you create and send me a presentation to my email address? 3-5 slides may be sufficient.

Then I added text to the first slide - the size of the font here would be different being the header, [I chose papyrus with red] ...then I went on to the next slide ... and added the text ... itwas Ariel with black,so I 'selected all' & re-chose the font & color ... ditto foreach subsequent slide; each time, I can return to hit the 'apply to all' ... but the text & color do not remain.These details are added for you, Dan, although it works/doesn't work the same no matter what other styles I've chosen, either initially or as Iadd the new slides. Andrew, I think you're the only one who understands to what I'm referring; thanks.

I don't know whatmean when you ask "So you're able to change the text on all the slides?" What type of change are you talking about? Are you talking about changingthe font of the text on all the slides?You have not even stated what style you have applied to your text. Nor have you stated what styles you are using in your slides. Nor have you described what layout you have selected from the Layout section of the TaskPane. Please give us some details.I was using styles in Impress before OOo 2.0. For all layouts which have a title "box" at the top of the page, LO and AOO apply the Title style listed in the Presentation styles list. Modifying this style modifies all the titles in all the slides at the same time. You have a copy of my slide show. Change one of the styles in the Title style and look at the titles inall the styles. For example, in the Font Effects tab, change the font color. This will change the font color for every slide title in thepresentation. What I have described is how Impress has worked for "years."--Dan anne-ology wrote:So you're able to change the text on all the slides?;then mine has a bug in it somewhere ... carried over from OO Iguess ;-)So, all you computer geniuses, what's the solution? - I'm awaitingyour responses now.

I'm actually just abeginner with LO and I had never opened Impress until you posted.The method I described below allows you to change all the slides at the same time, so you only have to make the change once. Of course if youadd more slides you need to do it again for the new slides. No, it's not idealand yes it would be nice if it worked the way you describe. Good idea!On 7/25/2012 8:26 AM, anne-ology wrote: Exactly my point, BUT it has to be done with each slide ;-)It would be nice, if the font was selectable on that initial pagewhen starting a new file ...[would this expand the size of LO even more than it is?; ifso, I guess, it's better this way, just frustrating at times.]I've even added more slides than I would need, in order to see ifthe font & color will hold, but it won't ;-) On Tue, Jul 24, 2012 at 10:58 PM, Andrew Brager <apb3304@bak.rr.comwrote:I missed the part where you were using Impress, I thought you were usingWriter. After re-reading your original post and some of the other responses I think I now understand what you really want.I also have not been able to figure out a way to do it exactly as you described, the best I could come up with is to go to the "outline" tab, select all the text, then change the font. That way, all of your slideswill have the same font for that one file.
