13. Slide Styles

Using Slide Styles

As you learned in Chapter 7, Effects, Slide Styles are pre-built, ready-made
effects that you can apply to any slide. When you apply a Slide Style; the
style acts as a blueprint. Within that blueprint are all of the instructions
ProShow needs in order to create the desired effect. The number of layers,
the layers' appearance, motion effects, adjustment effects, captions and
even slide sounds -all of that information is stored within the Slide Style.

Applying a Slide Style begins with a slide. Go ahead and pick some images
and drag them to the Slide List. You can pick any images you want
because styles are designed to be flexible and will work with any content
that you add to a show.

There are two ways that you can apply Slide Styles: from the Effects
window, or by using the Slide Options.

How to Access Slide Styles

Using the Effects (FX) window:
1. Click the FX icon in the Build Workspace or
Design Workspace Toolbar
2. At the top of the window, select the Slide Styles
tab
The Effects (FX) window is great for those times when you want to quickly
apply the same style to several slides at once. Simply select a range of slides
in your Slide List, choose your style and click Apply to Slide. Optionally,
you can also apply the suggested timing for a style to the selected slides by
clicking the Apply Timing link at the bottom of the information pane.
