Working with Messages
 

What are messages?

Messages are Balloons, Notes and Textboxes that have text information written on it. You can use messages to enhance your communication with the viewer. You can use Balloons and explain a specific area of your slide. Or, you can use Notes to provide or remind the viewer of important information without calling attention to a particular area of the slide. In any case, messages can add lots of impact to your Viewlet.

How many messages can I insert in a slide?

You can insert as many messages of any type in a slide.

Can I control the timing of my messages?

Yes. After you insert the message, select it and then choose the “Properties” icon in the Context Sensitive Toolbar. You can adjust the display start time, end time, or display duration time.

  What customization features are provided for messages?

ViewletACE provides you with a wide variety of message styles to choose from. Styles include classic, curvy, bubbles, simple and standard each with a very unique look. After inserting your message (which comes with a default style), select the message and choose the “Message Type” icon in the Context Sensitive Toolbar to view the list of options.   You can further customize it of-course by choosing a specific color or border for the message object or a certain font type for the text.
