Cut, Delete, Copy and Paste

Slides or groups of slides in a photo slide show may be cut and pasted, deleted or copied.  These operations may be carried out in any of the slide show Views.  Undo will restore the results of any of these operations to the digital slide show.   

First select the slide or group of slides you want to operate on in the photo slide show.  Standard Windows key conventions are used here.

Single slides may be selected by clicking on them.  The slide will be highlighted in the view of the slideshow to indicate that it has been selected.
