Copying a motion effect to multiple slides

Postby flicgadsby » Sat Nov 29, 2008 11:50 pm

I'm sure this is easy. I have not been able to work out how to copy a motion effect I have added to one slide to multiple slides. How do you do this?

Not sure if you mean a motion or a transition, but here goes: Highlight the slides you want to duplicate the effect on, and the slide that has the desired effect. Keep your shift key down and click to open the slide that has the effect. In the motion window, you can right click on the x or y box, the rotation number, or the zoom, and have the option of applying to selected slides. That will allow you to have the same movement in each slide. If it's transitions, again, highlite all the slides you want to change, and holding down the shift key, click on the transition button, a window pops up with all those choices. Click on the one you want and it changes all the highlighted ones. Hope that helps.

That's a good example of a a surprising number of undocumented places in ProShow where a right-click has a bunch of capabilities. It's useful just to start right clicking on nearly everything as you work just to see what it does. Not surprising you missed it, just surprising that they didn't do a better job with the documentation.
