From Draw to Impress?

users

Hello all.

I am really pleased with the PDF open & edit in Draw but was wondering how to get content from Draw into Impress without having to copy and paste.

I couldn't find the my original presentation but had a pdf version of the presentation.

So I opened it in Draw. That allowed me to make some small changes and yes, I can save again to PDF.

But what I wanted was to use Impress to present the reworked presentation.

There is no "Save as" to go to odp but I was hoping I could somehow get the Draw document into a presentation again.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi "bunk3m",

it is easier as you think:
Start with File Open.
Select your Draw document.
Then -still in the file open dialog- open the drop-down list to select the file type. Chose item "ODF Drawing (Impress) (*.odg)".

Notice the "(Impress)" in the item. It is the item directly after "ODF Presentation Template (*.otp)"

Kind regards
Regina

Thank you Regina.

That list is so long, I never looked much below the second section so never got there.

Once open in "ODF Drawing (Impress) (*.odg)", I see I can save the document as Presentation odp.

Cool!

Thanks!
