Restart @ last slide after close

Post by dreamquartz »

Hello All,

Have a multi day Slideshow, that will be closed (not finished) on one day and opened (and continued) on the next.
Is there a way to have the same principle as Writer, where a document is opened, reviewed/edited, closed, and opened again on the last page displayed.

Not that I heard of.
It makes less sense than a test document that could be very long.
Maybe a macro could be used to save the file with something on the current slide and then another one when you open the file that go to where that object is. And the location of that object is updated at each save. There is such macro for Writer using a reference, not sure what it could be in Impress.

You could have a macro that enters a code text that won't ever normally appear in your slides, like "ppp", then saves the document and closes it, and a second macro that finds that text, moves the cursor to it and deletes it.
