Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 42390
Document automatically to slides (Slides from outline)
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:41:14 UTC
Slides from outline -like feature (Word) but so that it works correctly (Powerpoint has this feature but the behavior is illogical). You could import a OO-Text document or a Word-document and it automatically makes slides for you based on styles used in document. You should be able to determine what styles make slides and what styles make lists (different levels) to slides. The default behavior I would like to see is that if I have document like this Heading 1 Heading 2 - List - List Normal Text - List Heading 2 Normal text Heading 3 Normal Text - Numbering - Numbering Heading 3 - List Heading 2 Heading 1 Heading 2 Heading 3 Normal Text Heading 3 Normal Text it would import it like this Title Slide Slide - List Level 1 - List Level 1 - List Level 1 Slide - List Level 1 - Numbering Level 2 - Numbering Level 2 - List Level 1 - List Level 2 Slide Title Slide Slide - List Level 1 - List Level 1 so conversion would go like this Heading 1 -> Title Slide Heading 2 -> New Slide Heading 3 -> List Bullet Level 1 List -> List, Level = level of Heading it is below + 1 Numbering -> Numbering, Level = level of Heading it is below + 1
Please have a look in the help for "outlines; sending to presentations". I think this might be exactly what you are looking for. If not feel free to reopen the issue. Thanks.
Closed.
I apogolize for not searching help carefully enough. There is indeed a pretty good tool for importing outline which is a very good feature. But I would pleased to see a dialog where you can define - what para styles are imported from document (like List and Numbering in addition to Heading styles) - what outline level or title style those paragraphs get in presentation - level could be given as number, but also relative to outline level of paragraph before (for example if I have Heading 3 paragraph converted Outline 2, I could convert Lists below that paragraph to Outline 3 -style) - whether a paragraph style makes a new slide or not - when style makes a slide, you could define what Master style that slide gets (for example I could convert Heading 1 -styled paragraph to Title and make that slide look like first slide of whole presentation selecting "title master") It looks like AutoAbstract makes slide for each heading and . Outline to presentation makes slide per every Heading 1. It would be magnicifient to be able to customize this presentation autogeneration process (without macros).
Reassigned.
