daveharris Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I've just updated PTE from v5.1 to v5.6.1 and have come unstuck on a change to Objects and animations.Created a new project and added the slides, music, timeline etc. Have opened the O & A screen on a slide and added a text object. I then went to the "Common" tab, checked the Drop shadow box and pressed customise. Clicked the templates button and expected to see the list of built in templates e.g. Neon etc. Instead it's a menu to save the shadow template or edit a template.How do I get at the old built in shadow templates please as they met my needs?Many thanks,Davep.s. the upgrade was brought about after my old laptop failed - got a new laptop running the dreaded Vista - less said about Vista the better!

thedom Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Dave,Xaver is right, if you want to reinstall my shadow templates, they can be downloaded here : http://www.thedom.fr/share/dload.php?actio...amp;file_id=212But I have to confess that I don't know where the apr_shadows.ini (shadow templates file) is under Vista...Can anyone give us the information ?

Lin Evans Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hi Dave,Just press the down arrow beside the default \"Spread\" and you will see multiple preset templates. Choose among them or create your own custom template by changing the parameters then you can save it as a new template which will name and see in the drop-down list.Best regards,LinHow do I get at the old built in shadow templates please as they met my needs?Many thanks,Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveharris Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 What a marvellous group, as always, - no sooner do I ask a question than I get the answerYes, I was using The Dom's templates, I loaded them originally when he published them. I've downloaded them again and all is well.In Vista the location of the .ini file is:C:\ProgramData\PicturesToExe\Versions\5.6Again, many thanks to you all,Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
