Description ntrrgc 2012-11-26 23:44:17 UTC
Suppose I want each paragraph of text of my slide show to be shown after I click. There can be many reasons I would want to do this.

I know how to do this in Office 97 (!) and newer:
1. Go to View/Master/Master slide.
2. Click on the content text box of the slide.
3. Slide Show/Custom animation.
4. Select Appear effect.
5. Accept, and exit from master slide view.
6. Now all my slides have the effect I set. I click 'Show slide show', and every time I click, a new paragraph appears. Both new and old slides inherit the animation of the master slide. Easy. Practical. Cool.

Now I try the same in LibreOffice Impress. Impress is 16 years newer than Office 97. It should be able to do something like this, right? Furthermore, it also does have master slides, so it shouldn't be much more difficult...

BUT

Oh, well... Custom animations on master slide are just useless. They don't affect any slide. In fact, you can't even preview them.

...
I could them start blaming every guy on the document foundation, [s] and then blaming me for using such crappy software as Impress[/s]. But there is too late, so I give up, and I try to set the animation effects manually. Have I saved the day?

More or less, if at least the following are not an issue for you:
* Bug 57576: Impress crashes if mouse wheel is used in "Custom animation" panel.
* Bug 57580: Impress' custom animations raised with click don't work fine when mouse button is pressed quickly
* Bug 57581: Animations sets for a text box with several paragraphs don't affect new paragraphs
