Export
Clicking on Export opens a file browser window. This tool is used to export
slide styles from your library. This tool allows you to save your style as a
.PXS file. This file contains all of the information about your style.

Exporting a style prepares it to be shared with others, or to be saved as a
backup. The PXS file can be uploaded to the internet or e-mailed to a
recipient to let them use the style in their own shows. Alternatively, you can
burn the PXS file to disc or save it to another hard drive to back up your
style in the event of a system failure.

When you click on Export, simply choose where you want to save your
style, give it a name, and click on Save.

To Export a Slide Style

1. Open the Effects (FX) window.

2. Select the style(s) you want to export in the Slide Styles List.
3. Click on Export.

4. Choose the location on your system where you want to save the
style, type in a name and click on Save.

You can export multiple styles at once by selecting all the desired styles in
the list before you click Export. You’ll still be prompted to specify a name
for each one, but ProShow will remember the folder you’re exporting to and
will default to saving with the existing style name.

The export function is provided as a quick way to save a style you’ve created
to another location. It operates very similar to a ‘save as’ feature – it just
creates a copy of the style file. If you choose, you can also just copy the .PXS
file directly using Windows Explorer or your favorite backup utility.
