- | ======Menu Sequence Hints and Tips====== | ||
- | These notes have been prepared based on a single slide menu. | ||
- | |||
- | * You can launch other PTE sequences or any other kind of file by using the Action on mouse click feature found on the Common tab of the O&A window | ||
- | |||
- | * **Run Slideshow…** and **Run Slideshow with Return…** will both launch a PTE sequence (the target sequence) provided that the target sequence has been Published in the same version of PTE as the Menu sequence | ||
- | |||
- | * **Run Application or Open File** will allow you to launch any other software | ||
- | |||
- | * If your target file is an executable (.exe) that application will be launched | ||
- | |||
- | * For any other file extension, PTE will work in accordance with the file associations already established by the Windows environment | ||
- | |||
- | * For example: on a system with Microsoft Office installed, a file with extension .xls will open in Microsoft Excel | ||
- | |||
- | * **Run Application and Exit** will launch any file, as for Run Application or Open File above but will, in addition, terminate the Menu sequence | ||
- | |||
- | * To be able to launch any item off your menu you need to be able to see the mouse pointer. So, in Project Options > Control > Mouse you will need to have Mouse cursor set to either Show or Auto hide. | ||
- | If you are experiencing problems with unexpected closing of the menu when you launch items then, check that in Project Options > Main > Show settings you have set one of the following: | ||
- | |||
- | * Repeat show until Esc key is pressed | ||
- | * When show ends keep last slide in show on screen |
