OpenOffice formatting question

[Walsingham]

I've been experimenting with a new format for my presentations, and I want to use a project logo at the bottom of each page. However, at the moment, being an imbecile, I'm simply pasting in a logo on every page, and of course every time I edit anything the logos ALL move. Is there a master template or something which I could create, like in PowerPoint? If so, how?

Have you tried switching it off and on?

Bastard.

Have you tried reinstalling it?

There's no watermark function, like in Word?

I'vebeen looking for one, but the only thing I can find is an option to make an image into a watermark style. I can't find a way to watermark every page.

I'm thinking you might have to do a slide template that with the watermark and repeat that. I HAD to use openorifice when I was working for the ministry of justice and there's no way it's coming back on my computer for me to check.

I find this reaction interesting as OpenOffice is one of my favourite pieces of software and I would certainly choose it over Microsoft's solution for my purposes.

All I know is that I was unable to get two pages of text on the screen at the same time. It's been a while, so it might have been fixed since (or the "government approved" version could have been ancient. This was in... '07... The experiences were overall negative, possibly related to the overall work experience

[Walsingham]

Whoah, hold on. I'm not knocking Openoffice in general because on a cost performance scale it does rather well. As in IT'S GODDAMN FREE.

 

Plus I expect the option is in there somewhere I just can't find it.

Go to "View"->"Master"->"Slide Master" and add your watermark there.

Trying it now...

EDIT: You must be thinking of the presentation package. I'm talking about documents.

 

I've had some success using a footer for every page. I put the logo in one footer and it turns up on every page. I can also put a background colour in the footer which looks rather nice.

Well, the Microsoft office suite is free too, if you have misplaced your morality.

 

I'm sure I left it around here just yesterday.

You can add a background picture to all pages when you go to "Format"->"Page"->"Background".

 

Unfortunately, this only allows pictures to be placed in the center or a corner,

Aha. Ingenious. Thanks.
