Using the grid

Using the grid makes it easy to position items accurately. Items can be dragged with the mouse and aligned on the grid. The grid can be set with the following procedure:

1.From the [Option] menu click [Grid Setting]. The [Grid Setting] dialog box will appear.

2.Set the “Frame Layout”.

Check the “Frame position in Grid” check box to use the grid. Clear the check box to position frames in 1 pt increments.

3.Set the “Interval” for the grid.

Enter a whole number between 2-100 pt. (The default value is 8 pt)

• Show or hide the grid by checking or clearing the “Show Grid” check box. Even if the grid is hidden, if you have checked the “Frame position in Grid” check box, frames will be aligned to the grid when moved or resized.

•Even if you have checked the “Frame position in Grid” check box, you will be able to ignore the grid and move items in 1 pt increments by doing the following:

·Dragging an item while holding down [Ctrl]. This will allow you to ignore the grid when resizing.

·Dragging an item while holding down [Shift] + [Ctrl]. This will allow you to maintain the aspect ratio of a frame while you resize it and ignore the grid at the same time.

·Holding down [Ctrl] while using the arrow keys. This will allow you to move items in 1 pt increments.

·Holding down [Shift] + [Ctrl] while using the arrow keys. This will allow you to resize items in 1 pt increments.

Display priority order

If frames overlap when a program is displayed, programs will be displayed in the following order from foreground to background.

“Frame4”→ “Frame3”→“Frame2”→“Frame1”→“Background”

• The display priority order cannot be set.

•If the content of the frame or background is a PowerPoint or EXE fle, it will be displayed in the foreground, regardless of the display priority order.

•Scroll messages are displayed ahead of the background frame.

•In all cases, the PIP frame is displayed ahead of the background, frame, and scroll messages.

•If movies are displayed in the background, they may be displayed in front of other frames in some cases. Set movies in frames 1-4, not the background.
