As a Newbie, I have successfully previewed and published a crude slideshow
demo as recommended in this thread. My effort has an opening and closing page with a button action as described in the Speedy Training disc shipped with my 5.0 Standard. I am using a trial of the 5.0 Professional as it has a timer.

When I duplicate the middle pages to expand the slideshoe to 10 pages, my
Published product remains at 5 pages only. What am I overlooking?

Attachments for 10 page slideshow.
Drag in buttons and .png file.

George, to help with the graphics and buttons for a project, you can export the project to a single file that can then be opened in AMS. To do this click on File->Export Project...

I"m still two loads shy> My Manage Attachments dialogue box will
identify the .apz .apt project file, but I cannot get either of them to
upload. The Wait sign appears in each instance for 50-70 seconds before
the failure is identified.

Is there hope?

Have you tried to manually .zip the file?

With thanks to all, zip efforts in my hands have not succeeded.
I am working with a new build from scratch and will hope to have a
preview soon.

Hello,
I looked through the tutorials, and help, but maybe I just missed it but I have completed my slideshow for publication, how do I publish for emailing, and what total project file size limitations should I be concerned with in order to email the entire slideshow?

Thanks,
Protoplasm

Ok, it's official, I am a complete and utter noob. I had to stop being so lazy and actually review the tutorials to realize this though :lol
