Creating Your Own Styles

We’ve spent quite a bit of time covering how you can use pre-made styles in
your shows. One of the most valuable aspects of styles, however, is your
ability to make your own styles from any effect you create.

Creating your own styles can be an incredible time saving tool over the long
term. Each time you make a new effect you can save it as a style. As you
create more and more effects, you are effectively creating a complete
toolbox of effects that you can quickly access and modify. You’ll find that
shows will take you less and less time as you build up your library of your
favorite or most often used effects.

Creating styles doesn’t require you to have to start from scratch. If you have
a collection of shows that you’ve already made, you can turn any of those
slides from those shows into new styles by using the steps below.
Creating your own slide style follows this basic process:

1. Create a complete slide with all settings configured.

2. Click the Create button in the Slide Styles pane.
3. Fill out the information fields displayed.

4. Click Ok to save your new style.

Once you save your style it will be displayed in the Style List along with
every other style you have installed. From that point forward you can select
and use it just as easily as any pre-made style.

Let’s talk about the Create a Slide Style interface in a bit more detail.
