Question: Can I add text to slides?

[jgayman]

I've been a long time, VERY happy user of PTE. I use it mostly for assembling banquet slide shows for our High School sports teams. I have been asked to include some text on the slides. Does PTE have the ability to add text to a slide? If so, can text be added to multiple slides at the same time?

They want to highlight each player on the soccer team which means having the players name at the top of the screen while THIER particular series of photos is displayed and then repeat for the next player. I've seen someone do this with Power Point but HEY... I'm a PTE guy. I could also add the text with Photoshop but editing 200-300 photos isn't my idea of fun.

Is this a feature I've been missing?

Thanks.

For the slide that you wish to add text to:

Click on "Object Editor" - Text ikon - drag text box into position - click on properties to edit the "text text text" and OK when finished.

Alternatively add the text in photoshop etc.

Best wishes,

DG.

If the text is going to be the same (for a series of slides) then you can use an 'action' in photoshop to add the words. This will be better for you, because you can then choose a much better font, than PTE will allow.
