Sarah4 Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 I am new at this site and would like instructions for making a page or slide with the same background (tiled) that I will use for all my slides. This page will have text only on it. Please advise with detailed instructions how to do this. Thank you for a reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthrodoc Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 I'll give you my solution... then others can come along and show me up with a better one! I learned this a while ago from this board... you make a black jpg of only one pixel in size. save this in your images folder (something like "blkpixe1.jpg") ... then load this as your first image of your project. Once this is loaded you can go into the image editor and add your background color, or a tiled image; if this is the main format of all your pages, then you can just make multiple copies of the page... and add your text to each...(...I don't know if this is the most sensible way to do it... but it works for me!)B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudiRe Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 anthrodoc that far is right. But one essential thing is missing:After you made your slides as anthrodoc desbribed, you have to unmark the 1x1 black image underneath the slide list, where it says "show image".

boxig Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 Here is my little tip:Make not one but many one pixel jpg. If you have 50 slides, make 50 images. This will not make your show heavier since it's only 50 kb together.Why ? because while working or making changes you may not tell from one slide to the other since they will have same name (as the name is of the image in the right-bottom window).Change the name of each "one pixel jpg" to the name of the main image on that slide or a name that will let you know what is in the slide. This way you can tell each slide from the other.I hope it's clear what I'm trying to explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudiRe Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 Smart idea, boxig, at least for as long, as Igor hasn't implemented the slide number in the slide list yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxig Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 Yes Rudi, I once made a long show with 1pixel.jpg in all slides and then realized I can't find which picture is where and spent a lot of time, so had to make it this way next time.As for Igor, my suggestion is to add a narrow column on the right side which will show small thumbs of all slides. This is great idea, but will Igor will read this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guru Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 Yes Granot, be sure Igor reads all posts of forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
