That was a nice brief reply from one who likes it. It would take more pages than my old hands can type to tell you all the reasons that I found it to be totally frustrating, illogical and poorly documented. Note that I don't try for sliding in points, embedded music or video and otherwanky things. As a hint try building a custom layout and master page and making them survive saving and closing the app. It is so bad that Google found an expert for me who told of the torture and suggested a way to achieve it. Even that did not succeed completely for me. If you <must> use it and want a personalised look, as soon as you get a page that looks like you want it to, duplicate that page as many times as you need for the presentation at hand. Always leave one of these blank so that you have an empty page to make another copy. etc etc etc... *** NOTE *** Please DO NOT CC me. I <am> subscribed to the list.
