STAROFFICE 5.2 APPLICATION SUITE
StarOffice Impress

The StarOffice Impress application enables you to quickly create impressive presentations. Special effects and vector graphics tools enable you to create stunning animations and sound effects, graphics tools include flow chart- style shapes, and an AutoPilot steps you through the process of creating Web-based slide shows. With the predefined presentation layouts, you can focus on your message, instead of on the visual details or looks of your presentation the program takes care of that for you. Whether you want to take your message on the road or deliver it as a Webcast, rely on StarOffice Impress 5.2 software to communicate your ideas and leave a memorable impression.

New and enhanced features include:

• NEW StarOffice Player: Deliver your presentation on the Web or take it on the road. The standalone StarOffice Player makes it easy to deliver StarOffice Impress presentations anywhere, anytime, on any system, without installing the entire StarOffice suite. The size of the StarOffice Player installation file is less than seven megabytes (including setup); the installation itself requires approximately 14 Mbytes of hard drive space.
  
  
• NEW saving options for presentations: Now you can save your StarOffice presentation as a compressed version for easy transport. Using the Compress command on the File menu, you may save a compressed version of the current presentation (the extension for compressed files is *.sdp), including sound files, animations, transitions, and OLE objects (which are stored as a preview graphic in the document). When saving a compressed version of a presentation, there are two options:
  
  * Remove links: Use this option if you want to embed objects that are linked to the presentation document (such as external graphic files) in the new document. Otherwise, the corresponding graphic files are saved in the usual SDP format
  
  * Split file to several media: If the size of the compressed SDP file is larger than the storage medium (for example, a 1.44 Mbytes disk, the program will automatically split the file into separate files that can be stored individually on multiple disks
  
  
• NEW Webcast option: Delivering presentations over the Web has never been easier. In addition to exporting presentations to standard HTML or HTML with frames, you may also save them as Automatic or WebCast publication types using HTML and Perl or ActiveServer (ASP) scripts. When exporting a presentation as an Automatic publication type, you may specify the Browser viewing time for each slide or adopt the settings in the current presentation. Additionally, you have the option to export sounds when the slide advances. When exporting a presentation to be delivered as a Webcast, the program gives you the choice of ASP or Perl scripting.
  
  
• Improved import and export filters for Microsoft PowerPoint 97/2000 documents: Exchange presentations with Microsoft PowerPoint users quickly and easily. The major improvements for these import and export filters are:
