Only got 77 slides so far. If everything goes as it always does i'll end up stammering a bit pointless stuff and basically reading all slides out, which means i'll be at 10 seconds (give or take) per slide. That means 6 slides per minute and ~13 minutes with 77 slides. Adding 3 or 4 minutes that i'll need to present my program i'm still 3 to 4 minutes short of the 20 i have to talk ...
Edit: On a related note, can i make Open Office show a presentation on a second screen that i can control and see on my main screen while i see additional stuff that is not shown on the second screen?
Not sure if Open Office has it, but Libre Office does. Check in the slide show options or settings. It may be called presenter view or something.
I found an option that reads "Presentation monitor" in Open Office, but i cannot try it right now because i only have one monitor. Could that be it?
Edit: I'll use a virtual machine with two virtual monitors to check this out. Brb.
Edit 2: the secondary monitor doesn't seem to work right. I'll install Open Office anyways and see what happens.
Edit 3: works now.
Edit 4: And now it doesn't. FFS, what is this?!
Edit 5: Ok, this time it really seems to work. Installing OpenOffice now ...
Edit 6: And it takes forever ... "Time is a luxury that i cannot afford." (Who knows the movie?)
Edit 7: Ok, that's not what i had in mind. I'l try Libre Office and see if that does what i want.
Edit 8: It is at 100% but it doesn't finish? What is this?!
Edit 9: Ok, LibreOffice has a functionality that looks like it could do what i want, but it horribly glitched when i tried it (the presentation on the second monitor looked like it was stretched from 16:9 to 4:3 and after tinkering with it a bit it didn't change the slides anymore.)
Edit 10: Just did a test reading of the thing, using mode: nervous. Took me 25 minutes to get trough a
quarter of the thing. I expected to get trough the entire thing in
15 minutes. I'm about to panic, if you'll excuse me ...
Edit 11: Removed half of the content. 50 slides remaining. Still too many ...
Edit 12: Ah ******** it, 20 minutes for 29 slides and i still have 14 more.
Just how short are 20 minutes?!
Edit 13: Avast is starting to annoy me. The paranoid little ******** wants to open everything in the sandbox lately ...
Edit 14: Once more unto the breach, dear friends ...
Edit 15: And now i needed only 9 Minutes for 26 slides?! Oh for ******** sake, this is going to end in a ******** disaster ...
