Insert Blank Slide not inserting at start of slideshow

[tonyb]

I have tried several times to insert a blank slide in front of the first image slide, but it keeps inserting after the first image.

Where am I going wrong? using iMAC

I do not have a MAC to try it on but on my Windows PC it works OK.

Right click on first slide and click on Insert Blank Slide puts a new slide in front. Same thing from the Slide Menu.

Hi,

Probably you worked in the Timeline mode? A blank slide is being inserted into cursor position (red vertical line).

Switch to the Slide List mode. Select the first slide. Press Option + S, or choose "Insert Blank Slide" from a popup menu.

Igor,

You are absolutely correct I was in "Time Line mode", Switching to "Slides Mode" did allow me to insert a blank slide in the correct location.

I had been struggling to figure out why it was not working

Thank you for your help.

Tony,

For whatever it's worth, I like to start most shows with a blank. So, I made a simple "New Show Blank Slide Template." Shazam! If I want a new project, I go to templates, select "New Show Blank Slide Template" and I look (to myself) like a genius. Excuse me, my arm hurts from patting myself on the back.
