Further Informations
Differences of the Text Boxes
What is written here refers to the Default template (white background of the page, title and subtitle with black font).
When you open Impress and close the "Select a Template" dialog, you get the Default template.
- Existing Text Boxes "Title" and "Subtitle" ( 1st page ).
Title and subtitle here are Styles of the type "Presentation Styles".
The Presentation Styles have the name of the functions "Title" and "Subtitle".
You can customize these Styles without any problems. - New Slide ( Ctrl + M ) (2nd page to …).
New Slides have a Title and the Text Box below it is assigned to the Presentation Style "Outline".
This Text Box seems to be "hardwired (programmed)" because the content cannot be assigned to any other Presentation Style. - Text Box from the ▸ menu.
You can delete the Subtitle Text Box.
Then you insert a Text Box from the ▸ menu.
The entered text is assigned to the Drawing Style "Default Drawing Style" here.
You can customize these Styles or make new Style without any problems.
Procedure
Use one of these three possibilities and pay attention to the existing assignment to styles.
To be on the safe side, you can always try to remove any direct formatting.
Select the whole text and choose ▸ ( Ctrl + A ) from the menu.
Then in the menu ▸ ( Ctrl + ⇧ Shift + M ).
Use the same Slides
If you like the Text Box after point 1, you can create more slides in the ▸ menu.
Or after opening Impress you can directly insert a page 2 according point 3 and then delete page 1.
For further presentations
Create an empty presentation that corresponds to your ideas (possibly already with 2nd and 3rd page).
Save this presentation as a document template.
