How to Build Bullet Lists in OpenOffice Impress

If you are used to Microsoft PowerPoint, you will find that building bullet lists in OpenOffice Impress (the equivalent of PowerPoint) is not very intuitive.

But you CAN do it, without having to create a separate text box for each bullet.

Here's how:

• Select the text box that has the bullet list in that you want to build.
• Under Custom Animation, 'Add' a Modify Effect.
• Choose an Entrance.  I prefer 'Appear'.  Click OK.
• Click on the ellipsis (3 dots  ... ) next to the 'Property' drop-down.  (Even though Property is ghosted.)
• On the Text Animation tab, Group Text by 1st level paragraphs and click OK.

That will make your bullet lists build in OpenOffice Impress the same way they do in Microsoft Powerpoint.
