Adding Text

Text is added by typing in the Text Entry
box at the bottom of the dialog.
To add text to an existing slide:
1. Type the desired text string in the box
at the bottom of the dialog. Notice
that the string also appears in the
Preview window above.
2. Click the Apply button to apply the
string. This allows you to add a
second string that can be edited
independently (e.g., bullet points).
Once text is added, you can change its
attributes, reposition it, or edit it.
Using Templates
The easiest way of adding text is to use a
text template. The templates included
with SHOW are designed to provide text
in common fun and corporate layouts.
For example, there are templates for
creating business presentation slides.
Many of these templates contain text
formatted with a heading, a subheading
and several bullet points. So you can
quickly set up the text on your slide by
simply clicking a button.
The Template dialog displays previews of
all 20 available templates.
The Template dialog.
To add a text template to a slide:
1. Click the Template button. The
Template dialog appears.
Use the Template button to add pre-formatted
text to your slide (photo or background).
2. Click on the desired template preview
to load that template.
The template's preset text strings
appear in the Preview window and in
the Text Entry box.

Editing Text

Once the template is applied to the slide,
you can replace the preset text strings with
your own text, using the Text Entry box at
the bottom of the dialog. If the template
contains several text strings, just click on
each to load them into the Text Entry box
for fast editing. You can then alter text
appearance by using the Text Attribute
Controls to the right, if necessary.
These controls let you change font color,
change font size, change font style, or
place text on the slide with specific relative
positioning.
Use the attributes pop-up menus to edit the text's
size, color, alignment, and transparency.
