1: Shadows on graphics? 2: Mouseclicks for next effect?

[richey]

Hi,

[1]
I don't seem to be able to add a shadow effect to graphics, I can't get into the "Format"-"Area" menu whenever I select a graphic on a slide.
Is there no other, "better" way than to add a "border line", put it "under" the graphic and add a shadow on the line??

[2]
how can I define if the next element on screen appears after doing a mouseclick or if it appears automatically ?
Currently, some elements requires a mouseclick to appear on a slide, others do not - but I have no clue why and where I can define that!

thanks
Richey

(1) You probably have a bitmap selected, and Impress does not support directly setting a shadow on this. You would need to add an object of similar size, apply a shadow on that, place it behind the bitmap and group it, unless I am overlooking something.

(2) Impress lacks in the department of fine-controlling the animation. I do not think you can set individually whether an element should appear on a mouseclick or automatically, which would be a great option because that would allow to create great functional effects.
