Hi Bernard From the Main menu bar, follow Settings -> Preferences -> Templates to see the default pathnames. Regards wideangle

Hi Lin Very informative and interesting , as usual. Many thanks for that. Regards wideangle

Ron It's just one of the standard properties when you go into O&A. Click on the Customise button to see the settings. Regards wideangle

I think that one of the secrets is about how Igor and team are very responsive to the suggestions that users make, and how quickly they implement them to produce the package that it is. Regards wideangle

Brian Thanks for the update - good to know that it solved the problem. Regards wideangle

Hi Judy This was raised by Goddi a while back and this was Igor’s reply: “Posted October 16, 2018 This behaviour was related with slide styles which may require a series of sequential slides for the correct result. Also a result of work of style may be a different number of slides after application (less or more). A lot of cases which we should care on. However I agree that you raise a good question. In future PTE 10 we fully reworked slide styles and probably we will do what you ask.” Regards wideangle

Hi Gary New shorter link works ok. Regards wideangle

Gary Just got a “Sorry, we could not find that page” when I tried your link above. Regards wideangle

Lin That is so so nostalgic - a genuine piece of history. I really enjoyed it. It brings back memories of the local pub Folk Clubs of fifty odd years ago which I used to go to, where you heard the occasional singer who went on to bigger and better things nationally and even internationally. Regards wideangle

Interestingly, I see what Denis sees on my PC, but see what Gary sees on my Ipad??? Regards wideangle

I'm not a Facebook member and when I tried the link quoted by Igor above, the only choice I was offered was to download the file. Regards wideangle

May or may not be obvious, but make sure that the slide or block of slides that you wish to base the Style on, are all highlighted before you click on the Slide Style button! Regards wideangle

Generally I think the only way is to run the exe and use a program to take screenshots of each image along the way. Regards wideangle

Sounds a bit confusing here. Talk us through the steps. 1. Can you access the email from Igor? 2. Can you get the NEW logon and password details from that email? 3. Can you get to the WnSoft website on your PC? 4. What do you see when you use the NEW logon details to log on to that site? Regards wideangle

Hi harbrimar, Try burning it to a DVD-R or DVD+R disc, rather than an RW disc, to see if that cures it. Regards wideangle

Barry You didn’t complete your last sentence properly. Shouldn’t it have been “sitting in the garden with wi fi and a glass of wine, and it ran ok”. Regards wideangle

Dave Another short useful tutorial to clarify a common problem. Thanks. Regards wideangle

Changing the name of a product is not always a straightforward thing to do, but I do fully see the logic in wanting to do so. Tomcatred55 - I think your suggestion is a strong contender, as it does suggest exactly what the product is all about (Extra Brownie points for the to Av and to hold!) Regards wideangle

I personally don't see anything wrong in widening a discussion somewhat in any thread, even if it's only half relevant, if it helps to clarify things generally. OK, rotation within a frame has cropped up before, but users new to the forum probably wouldn't have been aware of it, and now are, which is all good. Also, Tomcatred55 said: "Could you not rotate the image before applying the border if you are to edit from within PTE? I must admit I thought you were talking about an image rotating during the show, whilst it's border stayed still." If nothing else, the discussion in this thread will help him to see that a frame in PTE is a very different animal from the idea of a border, which he is confusing it with. We're all here to help each other aren't we? Regards wideangle

Hi Tom Good man. We need people like you to take care of things for the rest of us. Regards wideangle

Nothing wrong with that, but I thought we were talking about Gary's problem. You need to ask Gary that question. Regards wideangle

Tomcatred55 You can easily add an image, put a border on it and rotate the whole thing within O&A in PTE, without the need for any photo-editing program. But can you rotate the image but leave the border where it is? Unless I've misunderstood as well, I think what Gary is referring to is the same idea, but using an image inside a frame ie. to rotate the image inside the frame without the frame itself rotating. Regards wideangle

The Windows 10 v1809 update has just finally automatically installed on my computer as part of the rollout. I've just come across a very interesting article written online by Michael Fortin, Corporate Vice President of Windows (see following link): https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2018/12/10/windows-monthly-security-and-quality-updates-overview/#Vbxa9qtTjGyGYxKQ.97 Basically it is saying that the regular automatic security updates and new tools are released on the second Tuesday of the month (called Patch Tuesday and called B updates). More interestingly, it is referring to the C and D updates which are those released in the third and fourth weeks of the month. These include features which are still being tested, but, unlike the B updates, these will not be installed automatically. What it does mean though, is that if you are one of these people who are chomping at the bit to always have the latest update, and go into Windows Update and click on the "Check for Updates" button, then you are in effect maybe unintentionally installing preview versions of the operating system and acting as a beta tester for Microsoft! The moral of this story is "Don't click on Check for Updates in weeks 3 and 4 of the month"! Regards wideangle

Excellent. Thank you Igor. Regards wideangle

7 minutes to acknowledge my message and confirm the problem. That's what I call excellent service and support! Thanks Igor. Regards wideangle
