[LibreOffice 5.0.1.2] How to export a single file from a PPT file?

users
#1

Hello

I'm using LibreOffice 5.0.1.2 to open a PowerPoint file using LO's Impress.

I can successfully export all the slides in one go through File > Export as
images, but can't find how to export a given slide.

I searched through the File menu, through the "Export as images" dialog, by
right-clicking on the slide, all to no avail.

Google didn't help either.

Is there really no way to export just a single slide?

Thank you.

Gilles,

You could print that one slide to a pdf-printer, like cutepdf.

Not from a multiple slide presentation, however:

- you can print a single slide to file (as noted)
- you can select all object(s) on the slide and export them to any format
(but you'll lose other slide template details),
- you can simply copy the slide and paste into a new Impress presentation.

With copy/paste (rather than export you seek) most slide formatting will
come across in the paste, and once in a single slide--reformat/clean and
export to file format needed.

Thanks guys. Copy/paste into Paintshop Pro did the trick, although it'd make
sense to have that option in the pop-up menu when right-clicking on a given
slide.

Glad you got it sorted, but why into Paintshop Pro. Would make more sense
from LO projects perspective to copy/paste with our internal formats into
Draw--and export graphics from there.

So perhaps enhancements to Impress Slide sorter/preview frame adding:

  a .uno: action to "Copy slide to new Impress presentation"

and

  a .uno: action to "Copy slide to new Draw page"

Because I'm used to it :-/

But yes, it'd make more sense to paste it into LO's alternative.
