Set background for open office presentation
The background of a presentation in Open Office can be changed with just a few clicks. You can either choose a different color, a pattern or your individual image as the background of your presentation.
Set the color of the background in Open Office
If you simply want to give the background of your presentation a new coat of paint, this can easily be achieved via the page setup menu.
- First of all, right-click anywhere on the background and select "Slide" from the pop-up menu. Then click on "Page Setup".
- A new window opens in which you select the "Color" option at the top left.
- You can also set certain patterns as the background. You also select these from the menu described above, only that you select a pattern instead of the color.
Set your own image as the background of an open office presentation
If you want to use your own image as background for your presentation, you have to import the file as a bitmap into Open Office.
- Click Format in the menu and choose Area> Bitmap Pattern: Import. Here you have to select the file you want to insert as the background image.
- If you have imported the bitmap, you have to go to Format> Page> Background and there you can select your file from the bitmaps and set it as the background.
If you have completed your presentation, but the open office file is very large, the free "Presentation Minimizer" could help you. The free tool reduces the presentation without visible loss of quality, but with a significant increase in storage space. In our photo gallery we present further plug-ins for Open Office.
