Favorite Tips and Tricks…

  • I love the Ctrl and drag to replace backgrounds/pictures etc and
    still keep the same size and formatting. You can drag from either the
    bottom area or from the trash can. I don’t know what I’d do without this!
  • If you want to take off the constrain proportions for a
    background, hold down the shift key while you drag the corner arrow in,
    and you can shape it other than rectangle. (Don’t do this on pictures, PLEASE!)
  • Have you
    rounded corners at all? select a background, or picture and type in
    360 in the round corners box. It will be a circle. For a gentle
    rounding, try 10.
  • Drop shadow. My favorite numbers are 4 for the distance and 83 for the intensity.
  • Last
    but not least…copy formatting from one object to another. Select
    what you want to copy and press Ctrl + C. Then select what you want to
    paste to, right click and select paste format. This makes it quick to
    copy drop shadow, rounding, etc from one item to another.
