The Zoom value changes the size of the texture regardless of which Scaling
option you choose. You can use the Zoom value to fine tune the size of
your texture to get just the look you want.

There’s no one correct Zoom value to use with each Scaling type – it’s
simply a matter of changing the value a bit to get the results you think look
good on the caption.

Caption Macros

ProShow supports a wide range of text-based macros. These macros will
cause certain conditional text to appear in the caption while the slide is
displayed.

These macros open all sorts of options for your shows. For example, if
you’re creating a show and you want to display the name of each image in
the show as it appears, rather than type the name for each image on each
slide, you can use a Show Caption with a macro. That macro will reference
the name of the image and display it for each slide.

There are four kinds of macro options in ProShow: Symbol, EXIF, IPTC and
Predefined. Depending on the contents of your slide, the macros that are
available may vary from slide to slide.

To Add a Caption Macro

1. Create a new blank caption by clicking the Add (+) icon at the top
of the Captions List.

2. In Caption Settings, click the + Macro button located in the
Caption Format area.
