Congratulations, now you know the basics of OpenOffice.org Impress. With the skills you have covered so far you can do pretty much anything you need to build a compelling presentation.

The goal at the beginning of this workshop was to expose you to the most common functions you will use over and over again. Like anything else, it may take a bit of practice but you've got a great start.

OpenOffice.org Impress is a powerful program, and we still have lots of features to explore.

Impress offers tools you can use to work faster, and make your presentations easier to maintain.

If you want to go beyond the basics and create presentations that contain more than text, and graphics, OpenOffice.org Impress will let you add charts, spreadsheets, video and sound clips.

We'll also talk about adding special effects such as transitions and animation to a presentation.

OpenOffice.org Impress also provides some great ways to publish your ideas, and share it with others.
