322 13. Slide Styles

In some cases however, you may not want ProShow to disregard some of
the content you used to create the effect. Certain images, videos or Text
Layers may be critical pieces that are required in order to recreate an effect.
This is often the case if you’re making a style that has an image background
that you always want to appear the same way, or perhaps a logo, border or
text layer that you always want to appear when this style is used.

Remember that ProShow works with layers. These layers are basically
containers for your images, videos or text. When you make a style, you’re
telling ProShow that the layers and settings are important but the content
within those layers is not. ProShow will recreate the style by applying the
settings to your slide, regardless of which content you choose to fill the
layers.
That’s why if you want a layer to retain a certain image or text layer as part
of a Slide Style, you have to tell ProShow to make that happen.

In these cases, you need to instruct ProShow to include that image or Text
Layer as part of the style. This is done using Layer Settings.

To Include Content in a Style

1. In the Layers List, select the image layer or text layer that you
want to keep as part of the style.

2. Select the Layer Settings tab and go the Layer Type area.

3. Uncheck the option for Style / Template Replaceable Image.

4. The image will now be included as part of the style.
