644 25. Templates and Projects

• Projects help keep you organized when you have multiple shows
related to one client or task.
• You can divide your show into logical pieces. If you’re covering a
wedding that has a section for preparation on the big day, the
ceremony, and the reception, you can split those into different
shows rather than making one big one.

• Use one show in an open project as your ‘scratch paper’ for trying
effects you’re not quite ready to add to your show. Test them out
in your scratch show, and copy the slides over when you’re done.
If any of these sound useful, it’s time to use a Project.

How to Enable Projects

To begin with a completely new Project:

1. Click on File in the Menu Bar and select New Project. This will
enable Projects and create a new blank show for you.

To create a new Project and have ProShow kick-start the process of making
a new show:

1. In the Publish Workspace, locate the Project pane on the right
side of the workspace.

2. Click the very first button in the toolbar at the top of the pane.
This will create a new project and open the New Slide Show
window that you see when ProShow first launches. From here,
use the Wizard, open a Template, open and existing show, or
starting a new show from scratch.
