Can only make 5 slides

[pariah22]

Just downloaded OpenOffice 4.1.6 for an upcoming presentation, however, I cannot create more than 5 slides at a time before having to make a new slide presentation. I read something about 5 master slides but don't know if that is the problem nor do I know how to use it. Just want to make a simple 15-20 slide presentation. I used to have an old power point and had no problem. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

This is strange - I am currently working on a presentation and have inserted about 100 blank slides, all based on the same master. 20 of these slides I have already populated with text and images, also notes pages. (I will not be using all these slides in any one presentation - possibly a selection of about 60, chosen according to the target audience - use /Slide Show /Custom Slide Show to make such named selections.

I suggest you check /Tools /Options /OpenOffice /Memory ; I currently have the following settings
Undo - 10 steps
Use for OpenOffice 256 MB
Memory per object 5.0 MB
Remove from memory after 10 minutes
Number of objects 50

After changing any of these I would suggest closing and reopening OpenOffice to ensure that the new settings are used.

Thanks for your reply. I changed my settings to those you suggested and thought for a moment that the problem might have been solved since mine was set for 25 mb not 256. However, once I changed all the settings to what you have it still didn't work so I made a new presentation and still could only make 5 slides. I know it must be something easy that i'm overlooking since I've never used this program before although It seems that I'm doing everything right up to 5 slides, than it doesn't let me make any more.

Try to reset your OpenOffice user profile.

I normally use the one master slide in a presentation, as it gives a consistent look throughout.

Are you making masters and only five are permitted? See the Impress manual.
