The duplicate line of text will appear somewhere on the page and will not align with the first list item. Drag the duplicate list item into place and use the Magic Snap alignment guidelines to place it under the first list item. Press Duplicate Step again a few times to add more list items. Notice that after you have positioned the second list item that all duplicated list items are placed the same distance apart. It’s magical! Edit your Heading and List Item text. Add more list items if necessary. Be sure to enable Check Spelling as You Type. If you look in the Page and Layer Gallery, you will see that there are 9 new layers called Presentation Steps. These are essentially layers but they work in a slightly different manner. Preview the page. At first you will see nothing. But each time you press the right arrow button, a new line of text slides from the right onto the page (the default). Right click on any of the Presentation Steps and select Layer Properties. Here you can select from a list of Transition Effects and adjust the speed (hidden behind the drop down list). But remember, just because you have 10 transition effects, you are under no obligation to use all 10. Practice restraint. OK? Alternatively, you can select the first  step object (the first list item) and press the Step Transition Effect icon which also opens the Layer Properties dialog. I’ll leave the choice up to you. When you reach the last List Item, the presentation grinds to a halt. Because you have reached the end of the presentation. (So far we have just one page in our presentation). If we add more pages, then when you reach the last List Item, the next arrow click will go to the next page. So lets add some more pages. Click the Insert New Page... icon on the Infobar. Select the Heading and the text under the arrow buttons on Page One and copy them to the clipboard (Edit > Copy or press Ctrl c). In the Page and Layer Gallery, select the MouseOff layer. From the Edit menu select Paste in Place on the new page. In Web Designer 7 you can also right click on the page and select Paste...  Paste in Place in Current Layer. Select the heading the the PRESS RIGHT ARROW TEXT and Arrange > Put to Back. Open the Page and Layers Gallery and look at the layers for our new page. Ack! All the Step ayers have also been copied. We don’t want this. So delete all the Step Layers NOTE: This duplication of Step Layers has been fixed and in the next update, 7.0.4, but if you do not have the latest update you will have to manually delete the Step Layers. Select the first list item from the first page and copy it to the clipboard. Select the MouseOff layer in the new page and Edit > Paste in Place in Current Layer. Then click the Make New Step icon. So here is our second page. Also, before we add some photos, go back to the Page and Layer Gallery, select the title for the new page (something like index 2 copy, and give it a proper title. Click the current title and when it is highlighted you can change the text. Change the Heading copy to My XaraPoint Presentation: Add Photos. Open the Designs Gallery. From Presentations > Presentation Components > Photo Transitions, drag and drop Photo Slide 1 onto the page. Drag it to the center of the page until the Magic Snap indicates it  is in the center of the page. Drag and drop new photos onto the sample photos Ctrl click on the text to select it and change the fill color to white. The two photos as well as the text are all Steps. You can edit the Transition Effects if you wish or even rearrange the order of the steps. Experiment. You can’t break anything. If you mess things up too badly, just delete the photos and start over with a new Photo Transition.
