The next slide we'll create is a more involved slide.

We chose this slide as an example because it will teach you the core skills you will use over and over again when creating presentations.

There may be a lot of steps in this next slide, but they're all easy.

To get started, select the insert> new slide command. This time, choose a blank slide, and enter a name.

Then we'll begin adding the elements to the slide.

Inserting Images

First, lets insert the graphics that represent contributions. If we look at our thumbnail sketch, we'll see that there are 2 graphics.One graphic represents the full amount being inserted into an account. The second graphic shows the amount divided into 2 pieces - one part goes into the account and one part goes to pay taxes.

There are several ways to insert graphics into OpenOffice.org Impress, let's start with the simple insert graphic command.

This command lets you insert graphics that have previously been saved to a file.

If the preview box is checked, highlighting a file will display a preview image. Click open to import the file.
