Print and presentation versions of same presenation

Conference speakers need two version of presentations: one is for actual speach and another is for archive and later online reading by users. Oral one is shorter and should not include readable paragraphs but just thesis. It would be cool feature of the Impress if it would support this functionality by having these two modes. We can have special style for reading/print paragraph which would not display on projector but titles and list should be automatically made larger then. We also need two export versions for those presentation computers which has MS Powerpoint installed.
Hi gagin, Can you explain what you would like changed at, or added to, the current modes: - drawing mode - notes - hand-out It is hard to understand from your first explanantion what is missing where in your opinion.
May be I missed something, but as I understand, these modes are different ways to orginize presentation while working with it. What I'm proposing is to add to drawing mode some tool to mark parts of the slide as reading-only. If such tool is used, Impress should ask on presentation start if author will comment it or user just reading presentation from archive. In first case, reading-only parts shouldn't be displayed but remaining text should be increased in size to use available space. There is also needed option "just reading version/ just thesis version" option on saving and exporting presentation. So author will choose if this version is for conference archive or for presentation computer (when conference ask to place file on computer which is connected to projector). On exporting and saving to ppt this "reading only" information will be lost obviously. It is important to mark some parts of slide's text as reading-only in "normal mode" to maintain both thesis and reading version as one file, so author will change title or something and it will be different in both verions. Sorry if I'm asking for something already available or not describing it clearly enough with my lousy english.
Hi, On the notes-view, you can have extra explanation. Gives you the oportunity to bring more text/info, as you wrote in your first post. This can be printed, or the slides only can be printed. Now, do you ask for two forms of presenting the slides? One with full explanation and another with less text, but text that covers also the space from the text that is not shown?
Slide comments could be used as workaround but will not work in most cases. Consider user who has downloaded presentation and reading it on screen. Probably slide comments wouldn't be turned on. Yes, this is what I'm thinking of.
Seems to be dup of http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=18486. Resolving as such. Please vote for 18486. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 18486 ***
and closing.
This is not the same issue. Dual-screen capabilities are needed too (like in Mac's KeyNote - show current and next slide with timing on presenter's screeen), although I use NeoOffice version and this should be done on OS's side probably. But what I'm proposing is different matter. It would be good not only for presenter to see elaborated slides, but to have expanded on-screen version too - for people, who would read the presentation from conference's archive. As this proposal is arbitrary, it should be probably closed, but not as duplicate. (I just wanted to tell about this idea as it could be important competetive feature for OpenOffice.)
Reassigned.
