OOo Impress does allow interactive image resize with preservation of aspect ratio

Thursday, April 7, 2005

In yesterday's entry I wrote that Impress, the OpenOffice presentation module, does not keep the aspect ratio when interactively resizing an image. I received a lot of feedback, pointing out that Impress does provide such a feature: just hold down the Shift key while resizing the image.

The OpenOffice documentation, which I unsuccessfully checked at the time, covers this in the list of keystrokes. And, anyway, this is the same convention of MS PowerPoint, with which I was not familiar. Thanks to all who contributed feedback.
