Peter and Lin many thanks for your replies. Just when I think I'ved cracked it another obstacle jumps out on me It's a good job I'm trying this out on my PC and not on my laptop else I'm sure it would be out the window by now! I'm not PC illiterate, I do for instance get by quite happily with software like Adobe Photoshop, CS5, Cyberlink Director etc. However, for some reason, when I import my images into them and I try to zoom in the resolution is lost and they just become blurred. This PTE program just doesn't do things logically. And the fact that control 'Z' doesn't work like it does in most programs doesn't help. Is there a PDF manual I can download somewhere? My only reasons for trying this program out are, firstly, a few weeks ago we had a slideshow presentation at the camera club I attend and the presenter used PTE. Like all experienced users, I guess, he made it all look tremendously easy; too easy, and the results were excellent. We have an Audio Video competition coming up in the next few weeks and I would really like to use PTE for it. We have to create a 5 minutes video using no more than 10 images. Background music or narration are optional. I would like to produce it as an Exe program that will run on any PC. One of the new difficulties I encountered was when I entered text. Firstly it wrapped the text into a small space. I found a way of making it run on one line as it was intended to accompany the long Panorama image, but it stayed centred and bunched up on three lines. When it puts a purple frame or box around part of the image how do I get rid of it. You can see the dilemma I'm in.
