later default adjustments since the transition effects are

already in place and being applied.

• Text Effects: Changing the default setting will alter

default settings of previous slides that do not contain

text.

• Canvas Size: modify the default canvas size (computer's

screen resolution). If you find that playback is not

smooth, choosing a smaller canvas size may improve the

graphic display.

If you change this directory, be sure that the hard disc it

is on has enough free space to accommodate your

presentation.
