Using Workspace Views

Impress has five workspace views from which to choose.

Slides Workspace View

As you work through your presentation, you may find it helpful to view the thumbnails of your slides at the same time. This allows you to view the entire presentation instead of a single-slide view (Drawing Workspace) or a text outline (Outline View). The Slides View displays miniature versions of the slides. In this view, you can quickly scan through the order of the presentation and rearrange the order of your slides in the presentation.

To Switch to Workspace View Follow the Steps Below:

  • Choose View|Slides Sorter from the menu bar. [pic]

Notes View

Just because you created a presentation does not mean that you will remember all of the details or points that you would like to make throughout your presentation. People get nervous. People forget. Impress provides a Notes View that allows you to define custom-written notes for any slide in the presentation. Visually, this view provides an image of the slide at the top of the page and allows you to input notes at the bottom of the screen.

To Switch to the Notes Workspace View Follow the Steps Below:

  • Choose View|Workspace Notes View from the menu bar.

Handout View

Presenters frequently want to provide printed handouts to members of their audience. The Handout View provides a visual of the presentation on printed pages.

To switch to the Handout View Follow the Steps Below:

  • Choose View|Handout View from the menu bar.
