Basic question, but it's bugging me that when I view in STORYVIEW, the scenes I have inserted are not lined up in the correct order. And some of them have the wrong numbers on them.
Questions:
1 How can I renumber scenes?
2 How can I move scenes around so that they are visually in sequence on the storyboard?
I can't wait to hear this answer. I have been creating extra scenes and moving things over to get them in the order I want. Doing the same with dragging and dropping slides to get the numbers in order when I add a slide in the middle - mostly with branching. Or I have to manually move in the menu list and not refresh unless I want to start again. Hope there is a solution.
Thanks - already do (read my comment) that but such a pain - the question was can the system renumber without all the cut and paste - I can not find any way - but hopefully programmers will make that available down the road
Hello,
I am actually finding that the cut and paste doesn't do the job either. I was able to cut and paste to this point, but haven't been able to line up the numbers in an ascending order?
Yes I was. It was just a screen capture showing the layout of a webcast. Scene #1 is at the top and then the following 7 scenes are lined up horizontally below from #8 to #2, left to right. I am trying to rearrange so that the numbers (and content) read sequentially from left to right.

Been there, if it is REALLY important to you... quickest solution type I use - create 7 new scenes - select all the slides per current scene and drag and drop them into the new scenes in the desired order - (hint - usually I can not get all the slides to go over all at once - so you may have to take a bunch at a time) Once you have all the slides over - then delete the old 7 empty scenes and Viola - in order. NOW HERE IS THE CATCH - check all "Next" triggers - if you had branching or any manually chosen slide numbers - many will revert back to "Next slide" so branching is off.
For future projects... I am very diligent about creating blank slides as placeholders for each scene needed as a first step so not to go through that mess again. Now when a client adds a slide in the middle (I have loads of branching within scenes besides between scenes) - I do take the time to drag and drop all following numbered slides into place again to get that renumbering in order - otherwise you are manually adjusting the menu. Fun times. But I know no other solution. Good Luck Cynthia

Hi Lynn and Cynthia! I would recommend checking out this thread :)

Hi Lynn!
I'm not sure if you are trying to attach an image here, but it did not come through.

Yikes - a lot of maintenance time!!
Thanks for the follow up. I'll take more care in the initial set up next time.
Cheers,
