Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 45963
Line Spacing tool
Last modified: 2013-06-15 20:48:52 UTC
One of the most useful formatting features of PowerPoint is the line-spacing feature. These two buttons enable the user to click on the text border and either decrease or increase the line spacing within the text box to make text fit or enhance the aesthetics of the slide. I have not found this functionality in Impress. If it is not yet built, it would be a valuable feature. If it is included, it would be helpful to create a macro button available on the toolbar and include a reference in the help menu.
Reassigned.

Created attachment 80865 [details] How to customize the "line spacing tool"
Environment: Operating System: Mac OS X 10.7.5 OpenOffice Version: 3.4.1 Build 9593 To my understanding the feature is implemented and can be configured as given in the following steps or follow the video sequence linked below. 1. Open an OpenOffice Presentation. 2. From the menu select Tools -> Customize… 3. In the Toolbar drop-down list select 'Text Formatting' 4. Scroll down the 'Commands' list a little bit to about the middle of the list. 5. Mark the checkboxes in front of 'Increase Spacing' and 'Decrease Spacing'. 6. If so desired also check the 'Line Spacing' check boxes (see attached screenshot). 7. Close the dialog box by clicking the 'OK' button. One can also change the tool box by right-clicking into the text format toolbar (visible when actually editing some text); see video at: http://youtu.be/Idd8XhtXbEQ When editing text there should now be icons in the toolbar that allow changing the line spacing. Since the feature has apparently been implemented, I suggest to close this issue.
