Creating Media Placeholders for a Custom Template
When you drag your own image, movie, or audio file to a media placeholder, your
media is automatically sized and positioned for you. You can easily replace media in
the media placeholder by dragging a new file to it; you don’t have to delete the old
file first.
To create a media placeholder:
1
Add an image, audio file, or movie to the spreadsheet.
See “Working with Images” on page 194, “Adding a Sound File” on page 209, and
“Adding a Movie File” on page 210 for instructions.
2
Select the imported object and move it where you want it in the spreadsheet, as
“Moving and Positioning Objects” on page 214 describes.
3
Format the imported object, as “Manipulating, Arranging, and Changing the Look of
Objects” on page 212 describes.
4
Select the object, and then choose Format > Advanced > “Define as Media Placeholder.”
To delete a media placeholder, select it, and then press the Delete key.
