    Create My Master Slide - Discription to the Video - Part 1

    Why do I need a master slide?

    In the master slide you can define everything that should be visible and the same on all slides.

    This can be a background image, a logo, the date and the page number.

    Note pin.svg

    Note:
    If you want to use different background images on each slide, you can insert them directly on the slides.

    Open Impress

    Already with the call of Impress the dialog ″Choose a template″ appears.

    In this, ready-made presentation layouts are offered.

    Click Cancel and you will get the simple standard template called "Title Slide".

    You can create your own master slide from the standard template and save it as a template.

    In the Sidebar″ at ″Slide Properties″ the screen format is set to 16:9 in landscape mode.

    This corresponds to today's templates and the widely used screen standard.

    If a different screen format is selected, the existing fields on the slide should be adjusted as required.

    Select layout

    In the sidebar you can different layouts can be selected.

    Leave it at the selected layout ″Title Slide″.

    Switch on master view

    Furthermore, the button for the master view is also located in ″Sidebar″ at ″Properties″ 201806 LO HB Button Masteransicht.png.

    Click the Master View button.

    In the master view you can now adjust the format, (size, font, font color) of all elements such as headline, text and the fields of the footer, which should be visible on all slides of the template.

    Now edit these elements.

    ″Master view″ toolbar

    Rename Master

    The first step is to select ″Rename Master″ 201806 LO HB Symbol Master umbenennen.png.

    The dialog box ″Rename Slide″ displays ″Default″ as the name of the master slide.

    Now you can enter a suitable name, for example ″Master Slide LibreOffice″ and click OK.

    Renaming is not absolutely necessary, you can also simply reconfigure the master slide ″Default″.

    However, if several master slides are used, it is important to distinguish between them by name.

    Adjust format of heading

    Select the text in the heading.

    Now select the font size 40 at ″Properties″.

    For the font color select hexadecimal 18A303.

    Mark the edge of the heading field and select in the sidebar for

    ″Width″ = 22.00 cm and

    ″Height″ = 2.69 cm from.

    Logo-quadrat

    Since the headline field has been shortened, you can now place a logo to the right of it.

    On the toolbar ″Standard″ click on the ″Insert Image″ icon 201806 LO HB Symbol Bild einfuegen.png.

    In the dialog that opens ″Insert Image″ select the image ″Logo-quadrat.png″.

    Click on Open.

    The logo is placed centered on the slide.

    If the logo is marked, change the dimensions at ″Position and Size″ in the sidebar.

    ″Position-X″= 23,90 cm

    ″Position-Y″ = 0,62 cm

    ″Width″ = 2,69 cm

    ″Height″ = 2,69 cm

    Adjust fields of the footer

    Right-click in the footer on ″<Date/Time>″ and select Edit Template....

    In the tab ″Font″ select for ″western Text″ the Font ″Liberation Sans″.

    In the tab ″Font effects″ select 18A303 hexadecimal for the font color.

    This change simultaneously affects the other footer fields ″Footer″ and ″Slide number″.

    Close master view

    Click on the lettering ″Close master view″.

    Enter data for the Footer

    The footer does not yet include the information for ″Date/Time″, ″Footer″ and ″Slide number″.

    Therefore, now click Insert ▸ Header and Footer in the menu.

    In the dialog ″Header and Footer″ that open, you still have to make the corresponding entries.

    Here in the example you enter:

    At ″Date and Time/fix″ enter the current date, e.g. "2018/06/12".

    For footer text, enter e.g. ″Advertising for LibreOffice″.

    At ″slide number″ place a checkmark.

    Now click on Assign.

    Save master slide as document template

    In the menu click on File ▸ Document Templates ▸ Save as Document Template....

    In the dialog box ″Save as document template″ select the category ″Presentations″.

    Enter the template name, e.g. ″LibreOffice Advertising″.

    Click on the Save.

    Create My Presentation - Discription to the Video - Part 2

    Masterfolie aus Teil 1

    In part 1 of the two-part video series you have already created a master slide and saved it as a template with the name ″LibreOffice Advertising″.

    You can now use this template for the presentation.

    Open Impress and the document template

    In the dialog ″Selecting a template″ search for the template (filter: presentation presentation) and click on the template ″LibreOffice Advertising″ and then on Open.
