Hi,after some very hard work the Impress panels are now migrated to the sidebar. These are panels for
- Layouts - Master pages (all, recent, used) - Custom animation - Slide transition - Table I have created new developer builds (version 0.7), please see http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Sidebar#Developer_Buildsfor details. I made the Linux build with an older Ubuntu, so that more people can try it out. A special activation of the sidebar is not necessary anymore.
Have fun, Andre
