Hint: Cutting or Copying content from other documents

When adding your content, depending on what type of document you are copying and pasting from, sometimes strange formatting and many different fonts will appear throughout.

The cleanest way is to copy and paste it into Wordpad or Notepad removing any unwanted background formatting and then paste it back into our interface on the content editor of the slide. Correcting any numbering problems in a numbered list of text can be done in this way also.

Managing the Slide

When setting up your slide, it could be described in 3 sections.

1. Slide References
2. Insert Media
3. Insert Text and Images

Slide References

• Title - Add the title of the slide
• Reference - For Administrators's eyes only. This field provides you with a reference for the slide or question. It can be used to describe what it’s about, or a note for Administrators.
• Slide Settings - This is where you can change the Next button on the slide to “I Agree” simply by clicking in that it is a Terms and Conditions slide

Insert Media Section

Choose the appropriate radio button for inserting Audio or Video by choosing your file from your PC.

You can also add a Document in the slide for the User to download and read in this section.

Insert Text and Images Section

This section is used to add your images and copy and paste or write your text for the slide. You can add as many image/text sections as you need per slide.

Using the content editor you have some other word processing features including:

• Spell checker
• Insert website link
• HTML Source Code option
• Preview content
• Aligning the text (left, centre, right, justified)
• Bullet and number lists
• Font selections (sizes, type, and attributes)
