Bring up OpenOffice Presentation. Work through the wizard until you get to the main simpress window. On the right hand side of the window there is a "Tasks" area. One of the options under there is "Layouts". You can use the F6 function key to get focus to the View button above the Tasks area. You can then use Tab to get focxus to the Layouts component. You can use Space to expand/collapse it, but there doesn't appear to be a way to key focus into the layouts area with the keyvoard, in order to select a different layout.
ES->WG: please have a look.
Reassigned to me.
When you have the layout tab selected simply press enter to get into that "group". With the cursor keys you can navigate to the desired layout and apply it by hitting "enter". Tested in OOo 2.1 and current version.
Closed. Thanks for your help.
