Creating a new show
When the program is first run, it starts with a blank show. At any point, you can also use the File menu to create a new show, or load an existing show. You can also save at any time.
To save time, you may want to start with an existing show, by opening it, and then use the Save as option to save the layout as a new file. Then delete all of the existing items, and begin again. This saves you having to set up the templates and sizes on the Options dialog again.
Describing the Show
The intention is that you can use the items at the top of the page to set up a few descriptions that apply to the show as a whole. These can be used as a title on the main page. You can also set up an image that is associated with the show.
