Just made a really good presentation using open office, how do I create moving text?

I think that's what you call it

Basically I don't want my audience to see what I am about to say on the projector until I have said it.

Is there a way I can set it up so after I have said it, then I can press a key on my notebooks keyboard to show one of my bullet points? Then keep pressing the same key to show my next bullet point and so on till I move over to the next slide. How can this be done?

Many thanks in advance

Many thanks for the help guys, these animations greatly simplify things. One problem I am having is that when I write out some text as bullet points I end up using 2 lines for that bullet point and here's the problem. On that new line the word doesn't start right under the first letter on line 1. Instead it starts a few letters towards the right. How can I fix this? I need it starting on the new line so it sits under the first letter from the first line, so the bullet points all look flush.

knowing me by the time I do that it would take ages, please can you just tell me how to fix it?

Many thanks in advance

What do you mean it's the only way?

All I need to know is how to align the text so it underneath each other rather than to one side?

Well here's the problem, I am typing some bullet points out which you can see below:

Rogue warrior is a new satellite weapon system capable of
creating
wall of slime onto an enemies visor

Well there is the bullet point that I have typed in open office, now I couldn't get it in this forum looking completely right as it looks in open office. Where it says 'creating' that's on the first line and wall of slime starts a few places towards the right as shown but right under the first line. I hope you understand. How can this be fixed? I am sure it is something to do with the template alignment that I am using.

Any help much appreciated

Many many thanks in advance

Slime wire weaponary

It is for a university research and development project into using non lethal weapons for military groups. If a weapon of some sort can be made it would be funded by the British government. My presentation is to show ways in how it could be created.

So how can I fix this text problem???

I am doing a presentation for a university comedy club, the club doesn't usually allow the public to come along but they saw I had talent so they are giving me the chance. I am doing a presentation on slime wire weaponry using satellite systems. They are interested, if things go to plan I will come clean and tell them I am a dvdbunny.

Anyway I managed to get my presentation looking sweet in open office and was just wondering how do I get a graph/chart. I selected the chart but can't seem to change it's values. I need to do a sort of projected sales forecast a long a graph to show how each year how the slime wire weaponry will sell around the world. How can this be done, I have been playing around but can't seem to set the graph up correctly?

Many thanks in advance
