I don't think you can recover that. What you can do is drag the various panes to where you want them and hide the ones you don't want to see. For more, see the HELP section>Panes>Floating/docking of.

I think the asset search function is broken. After some time adding graphics and other items to the My Design and other categories, I used the search function, but I either found nothing or crashed the program.

Sure, there are several ways. Select your text (or the text box or Artistic text) and then click Format>Character>Font; or Format>Size Text. You can use the Character tab to change the font. Or, on the toolbar, with the text box or text selected, you will see the font's name and the font size—change it there.

This has been painful to follow so, following Joe's instructions, I made a 1:38 minute tutorial https://youtu.be/VgxKFrgcK2Y that follows all of the steps in his procedure. Hope it helps.

Can someone confirm the final version of MoviePlusx6? The Affinity folks bulldozed Serif Towers and threw away everything so I can't check there. My version of MoviePlusx6 is 8.0.2.21, dated Sep 27, 2012. If anyone has an update to this can they share it with me, please? Thanks.

Yes, called guides in MvPx6. The section details the methods to call them up or discard them.

I use two external HDD to save my files with Acronis backup software. My version of Acronis has a perpetual license, while newer versions are subscriptions, which I loathe, so I don't recommend Acronis. It would be best to research backup software, and external hard drives for reliability, ease of use, and cost. Then maintain two backup copies of your files-including the PagePlus program (and other important programs) every week. Most backup software automatically runs the backup at the time you set. Don't forget to create a dummy document that you can delete from your PC, then try and restore it from a backup, to make sure it was saved and can be recovered.

You mentioned Cloud storage. This link https://www.lifewire.com/free-cloud-storage-1356638 has a list of "The best free" Cloud storage sites.

There are many ways to search your computer for the files. I prefer using Voidtools "Everything https://www.voidtools.com/". It's a free program that searches your computer for files you define. I suggest "*.ppp " as it should return every PagePlus file on your computer. If it finds your files, you are given the option to open it, copy the path name to the clipboard, and others.

Thanks, Eric. Alfred is correct on both counts: project media files are everywhere and I'm using AnyDesk remote software. I think I'll have to keep the finished projects as MP4 and then cut/paste the existing video as needed with new material as I do weekly edits. That way I will have the needed clips until they're not needed.

I have to live in another state for the next few months and still access my MoviePlus work which is currently on a PC onto a laptop. I know I can move the MvP files but is there any way to copy all the project media so I don't get the dreaded message "can't locate xyz.mp4"? I know I can do it remotely but those programs shrink the screen terribly and is my last option.

thanks, tomH

Have you tried these fixes offered by Google?

I think you're looking for a KVM switch (KVM stands for Keyboard, Video, and Mouse. A KVM switch allows for switching of the keyboard, video, and mouse between multiple computers with a push button, shortcut key, mouse button, or selector.).

Amazon (US) has this one for $22 https://www.amazon.com/Selector-Compute … 42VPS?th=1 and PC magazine reviews several here. https://www.pcmag.com/picks/best-kvm-switches

Many thanks, Alfred. Now I know where to look.

PP just crashed at the end of a newsletter edit and while I have auto-save on, I don't know where the file might be hiding, or worse, if the program saved the file.

thanks, tom,

I have a copy of PPx6. Which files need to be shared?

As Eric asked, did you unlock your codes from your work computer and copy them into the home machine? See this Youtube video https://youtu.be/OxYKJaGxArE?feature=shared (40 seconds) showing the steps.

I modified William's post to specify transparency and PNG format. Didn't work.  However, with Photoshop it is very easy to select the subject from the checkered background.

Bingo players sure have big eyes.

I don't think I understand Bard very well—if at all. To illustrate, I gave this prompt to Bard and Bing AI: "create 3d cartoon of a bingo player".  Bard responded with

"Absolutely! Here are three options for a 3D cartoon of a bingo player:

1. The Lucky Grandma:

2. The Bingo Beagle:

3. The Teen Techie:

These are just a few ideas to get you started. You can customize the characters, their outfits, and their lucky charms to create your own unique bingo player.

I hope this helps!"   Bard failed to create an image.

Bing responded with images of a senior holding a bingo card. So, if I need AI to create an image, I use Bing.
