How do I: undo, copy slides between presentations, default style for "add item"

Jeff Meyer

OK, a few quesitions...

1.  I can't for the life of me find an "undo" button - is there a capability to undo changes?  I see one if I right click a slide, but that doesn't really work like I'd expect.

2.  Is there a way to copy a slide set from one presentation to another?  I have some neatly formatted slides that I'd like to re-use between presentations.

3.  Is there a way to set a "Default template" for the "add item" action? When I add an item, it uses some default plain style, and I need to change it manually.  It would be nice if Proclaim knew what template I had selected and added items in that style.

Thanks!

Jeff.

Proclaim does not have a "global" undo buffer. There are local undo buffers in the open presentation menu, order of service, and timeline. Each text input control supports the normal Ctrl-Z (Command-Z on Mac) keyboard shortcuts.

You can use the Reuse Items menu to select from previously created service items.

We have an open case for defaulting to the last media and style for each service item kind in the add item menu. In the meantime I recommend using the Reuse Items feature.
