Creating Media Placeholders for a Custom Template
When you drag your own image, movie, or audio le to a media placeholder, your
media is automatically sized and positioned for you. You can easily replace media in
the media placeholder by dragging a new le to it; you don’t have to delete the old le
rst.
To create a media placeholder:
1 Add an image, audio le, or movie to the spreadsheet.
See “Working with Images” on page 191, “Adding a Sound File” on page 206, and
“Adding a Movie File” on page 207 for instructions.
2 Select the imported object and move it where you want it in the spreadsheet, as
“Moving and Positioning Objects” on page 211 describes.
3 Format the imported object, as “Manipulating, Arranging, and Changing the Look of
Objects” on page 210 describes.
4 Select the object, and then choose Format > Advanced > “Dene as Media
Placeholder.”
To delete a media placeholder, select it, and then press the Delete key.
