Presentations using Open Office

Videos

• Advait typically adds three animation effects per video:
  • toggle pause immediately after the slide comes up. This ensures that the video doesn't show up as a black box when you first bring up the slide.
  • toggle pause on click. Click to play the video.
  • toggle pause after duration of video. To prevent seeing a black box once the video ends.

• To make videos cover the entire width of the slide, type in the size and position instead of using the mouse to resize:
  • width: 11.02"
  • X position: 0.0"

Images

• Open office puts an annoying thin gray border around images (especially visible for images with white background).
  • Advait's fix for this is to set the image transparency to 1%
  • Got this tip from the bottom of this thread:
