RE: [libreoffice-users] Stepping through bulleted items in [Impress]

I notice, however, that if I use Brian's method and save the LO presentation as a PDF, the stepping 
effect isn't preserved. I can preserve it through the method of creating duplicate slides and 
adding new bullets to each slide.

Thank you Brian. That was it.

Gordon, I have used LyX and LaTeX and it is deceptively easy in those systems. The command for 
stepping is included in various Beamer templates.

My problem is I have a hard drive full of documents in various formats because I keep switching 
between LO and LyX and LaTeX, etc. I want to settle in on one system rather than bounce from one to 
the other.

That's probably "presentations" or "Impress".

Indeed. And you end up - undesirably - with six slides instead of one
in both your notes and your handout.

Surely yes.

o Create your bulleted list of six items.
o Click Custom Animation in the sidebar.
o Let's assume that you want the first item to appear with the main
part of the slide. Select the second item.
o Click Add... .
o Select the mode of entrance.
o Ensure that under Effect, Start is set as "On click".
o Adjust other options as desired.
o Repeat for the other four items, ensuring that they appear in the
appropriate order in the Custom Animation panel.

In the slide show, one click will now bring up the new slide with its
first bulleted item, the next five clicks will add additional items,
and the next click will proceed to the next slide - as you would expect.

I trust this helps.
