Shadow Templates

[daveharris]

I've just updated PTE from v5.1 to v5.6.1 and have come unstuck on a change to Objects and animations.

Created a new project and added the slides, music, timeline etc. Have opened the O & A screen on a slide and added a text object. I then went to the "Common" tab, checked the Drop shadow box and pressed customise. Clicked the templates button and expected to see the list of built in templates e.g. Neon etc. Instead it's a menu to save the shadow template or edit a template.

How do I get at the old built in shadow templates please as they met my needs?

Many thanks,

Dave

p.s. the upgrade was brought about after my old laptop failed - got a new laptop running the dreaded Vista - less said about Vista the better!

Dave,

Are you looking for the shadow templates published by user "thedom"? They still can be downloaded.

Dave,

Xaver is right, if you want to reinstall my shadow templates, they can be downloaded here : http://www.thedom.fr/share/dload.php?actio...amp;file_id=212

But I have to confess that I don't know where the apr_shadows.ini (shadow templates file) is under Vista...

Can anyone give us the information ?

Hi Dave,

Just press the down arrow beside the default \"Spread\" and you will see multiple preset templates. Choose among them or create your own custom template by changing the parameters then you can save it as a new template which will name and see in the drop-down list.

Best regards,

Lin

What a marvellous group, as always, - no sooner do I ask a question than I get the answer

Yes, I was using The Dom's templates, I loaded them originally when he published them. I've downloaded them again and all is well.

In Vista the location of the .ini file is:

C:\ProgramData\PicturesToExe\Versions\5.6

Again, many thanks to you all,

Dave
