Now if you have your 1st slide set up on the screen as above, perhaps we will 'tinker' with it. Click the 'OK' button and you will have the 'Text Formatting' buttons available on the toolbars.ĭo not have too many toolbars available at any one time as these will crowd your monitor workspace.Use the down arrow to the right of the box and the scroll bar, to select 'Text Formatting' toolbar.Now, locate the ' Toolbar' box near the top (just under ' Impress Toolbars').Click on the 'Toolbars' tab (at the top of the popup frame).This replacement tool bar has the Text justification, Font family, Font size, Bold, Underline, Italic and the Bullets buttons on it. This option is still available from the 'F ormat' menu, under ' Bullets and Numbering.' or you could create your own customised button bar with the buttons that you use most (we will look at this in a later post).įor now we will customise the toolbars by replacing the 'lines and filling' toolbar displayed (the one with the paint pot, pen nib, 0.00cm and the Black square in it), with the 'Text Formatting' toolbar.

For instance, we did have the ability to turn bullet points on/off via the default button bar. So you can see that some button and options are not immediately available from the menu button directly.

The new Impress layout, with the original starter slide created. The first major difference come with the button arrangement and what is shown on the menu. OK, there are some minor differences when you go through the sequence, of the several previous posts on the use of Impress.
