Template slide

[Ian Smith]

Just a little confused. If I want to create a special slide to use in future slideshows what is the correct procedure to follow in order to save that as a template that I can use in the future.

The simplest solution is to not use the template feature at all. Prepare your special slide in a one-slide sequence and save this as normal. When you want to include this special slide in another sequence proceed as follows:

Launch PTE and File...Open... your special slide sequence

On the Slide List view, select the special slide and Ctrl+C to copy it to the clipboard

In this same instance of PTE do File...Open... of the sequence that you want to add the special slide into

In the Slide List view select the slide before which you want the special slide to appear and Ctrl+V to insert the slide from the clipboard

It is vital that you do not close down PTE between the Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V otherwise the clipboard contents get deleted.

It's actually easier to do than to describe how to do it.

If you know when you start a new sequence that you will want to include the special slide then simply open the special slide sequence into PTE and do File...Save As... to the name of your new project and add the remaining images.

Thanks for that. Couldn't make sense of the template option. Have tried your method and it works fine.
