I'm hoping to 'lock' items in Impress.
I'd like each slide to have locked blocks of text or colour, so I can easily go and add other layers on each slide without accidentally picking up the blocks I don't want moved.
Any ideas?
I'm using Apache Office 4.1.6
Thank you!

Re: Locking items in Impress
The immediate answer is that there are no layers in Impress, although they exist in Draw.
Other Forum users may suggest a suitable workaround.

You can protect the Position and Size of the shape object in the Impress application. Write a macro for this task if you want modify more than one object by one click.
And you can use the Styles to format the shapes instead of the direct (manual) formatting method. Then you will able restore the desired properties easily - if you changed them accidentally.

You could (possibly) put your standard items on a drawing, export as a bitmap, then place it as a background fill.
