Viewing step contents
Sometimes you may want a clearer view of exactly which objects are in a step. The best way to do this
is using the Page & Layer Gallery
. Click on the "S" (Solo) icon next to the step you want to view, to show only that step on the canvas.
Click the icon again to return to normal view.
As with ordinary layers, you can click and drag an object to move it from one step to another in the
Page & Layer Gallery
.
Moving objects from one step to another
You can move objects from one step to another step in one of three ways:
Right click the object(s) and choose "Presentation" > "Move to Step" then choose the
number of the step you want to move the object(s) to, or
Right click and choose "Presentation" > "Move to Step" > "Background" if you want to
move the objects to the MouseOff layer or "Presentation" > "Move to Step" > "New step"
to move to a brand new step.
In the Page & Layer Gallery, click and drag the object(s) from one step to another or right
click the object(s) and choose Move to current layer.
Replacing existing objects in a step
If you use one of the interactive presentation templates to build your presentation, you will want to
replace existing objects in a step with your own content, such as your own images, photos, logos, and
text objects.
However if there's only one object in a step then deleting that object will remove the step, and you may
want to retain its transition and its order in the step sequence. In this case:
Add your own content to the step, then delete the content you don't want
.
This ensures that the step won't be removed and its order remains unchanged.
Note:
If the object you want to replace is a photo, you can replace it by dragging the new photo from the file
explorer directly onto the photo you want to replace - see Replacing photos.
Changing step order
The order in which steps are revealed is the order in which the steps appear in the Page & Layer
Gallery, as indicated by the step numbers. You can change this order either by right clicking an object in
a step and choosing Presentation> Step Order
then choosing a new step number, or by choosing a new step number from the Presentation toolbar.
You can also click and drag steps above or below each other in the Page & Layer Gallery
until all steps are in the order you want.
Deleting objects from a step
Right click the object and choose Cut or Delete, or in the Page & Layer Gallery right click the
object and choose Delete or click the object then press the Delete
button in the standard toolbar.
When you delete an object and it's the only object in a step, Web Designer Premium automatically
deletes the empty step, reordering the remaining steps accordingly. Deleting an object when there's more
than one in the step will not remove the step.
