Impress full screen question

users
#1

I have created a presentation, and want to display as a slide show in full
screen (projector) without the window border or title bar or meny bar
showing.

I suspect Impress can do it, since that is how it displays the .pps
presentations I get by email; how do I get Impress to do this for MY
presentation ?

Finally, the only way I found to display my presentation in full-screen,
without any window border, title bat or menu bar is as follows:

Save the presentation as a .pps file

Boot up Windows,

Show .pps using (free) MS Powerpoint Viewer.

A bit sad it cannot be done with L.O. under Linux ;-3(

Cheers,

Ron.

To open a presentation in full screen in LO, I just hit F5 or choose Slideshow (Diaporama, in French) in the menu.

So where is the problem?

The problem is that it is not full screen: It still displays the borders,
title bar and menu bar of the window.

There is the problem.

I use Impress extensively and do not encounter this problem with Slackware 13.37, under Fluxbox or XFCE.

So my guess is that this in related to your desktop or windows manager.

So, could you please tell us what is your distribution, and the desktop or windows manager you use?

Cheers,

This does seem strange. My MacBook has two partitions (Mac, and
Ubuntu (32 bit) 12.04LST). The make uses the entire screen for the
presentation, but Ubuntu does not. It shows the title and menu bars. (I
should mention that I use the Gnome desktop rather than Unity.)
     I also have a tower running Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit also using Gnome
desktop. Presentations use the entire screen (no borders, menu bar, nor
title bar.

I have the problem under both these configurations:

  Mageia 1, KDE 4.6.5 and LO 3.4.4
and
  Mageia 1, LXDE and LO 3.4.4 .

Cannot try a more recent version of LO, no upgrade for Mageia 1, and Mageia 2
is not out yet..

Cheers,

Hi,

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and LibreOffice 3.5.2. When viewing a slide show, I have a full screen without the title bar or the Unity launcher bar showing.

Is your computer 32 bit or 64 bit though?

The KDE is 64, the LXDE is 32
