blank slide?

[standingstones]

Can you insert a blank slide? --- A blank slide that you can have the same background as the others and just put words on?

[alrobin]

Yes, either insert a plain black or white slide, and set up objects on it, or click off "Show image" at the bottom of the main window opposite the image pathname.

Ok, but HOW do I insert a plain black or white slide? I don't see any options for that anywhere.

[alrobin]

You would have to make one, using your image editor, or if you are inputing via a digital camera, photograph a black screen. You then insert it by locating it on one of the drives listed at the top of the "file list" on the left-hand side of the main window, and double-clicking on it to add it to the slide list on the right.

There is a "1-pixel black" jpeg image on my web site HERE that you can also download and use. Or you can make one in your image editor (just a jpeg consisting of a single black pixel).

standingstones,

You could use Al's recomendation of the 1 pixel image technique ... or ... just select any currently used image in your Show. Once you add that image to your new Slide ... deselect the Show Image checkbox of that Slide.

You will now have a empty slide to do as you please. Using this method adds no additional size to project ... plus you have no image to make.

(Not that a 1x1 pixel image has any real size to it )

Thank you very much! I got it now!

here is another way which should work.

Open pte file with text editor, look for your slide number

and write in first three lines this:

(example for slide no. 2)

[slide2]

ShowPic=0

Picture=

save the file.
