I thought it would be helpful to use Set as Default Marker, however, I've changed my mind and cannot undo this function.
When I go to insert Marker, the options are empty/blank. I opened a new Story file and tried to insert Marker and the options were all visible.
Using Set as Default Marker appears to have knocked out all other options. Is this how this function should work? How can I undo it without opening a new file?
you should be able to insert a marker - select it then click the format or options tab (doing this from memory) then set the colours for fill, border and icon colour
That's what I did originally, and when I formatted the marker, I decided to set it as the default. But now I cannot undo the "set as default marker". I can reformat the marker, however, I am unable to insert a "new one" unless I open a new story file.
Surely the insert marker function should still be available.
I Just tested in SL 2 and I could insert a marker, make changes, set as default, make changes again, set as default and then use the 'undo' option to go back to the original - can you not do that?
Sorry Wendy, perhaps I am not explaining correctly.
I inserted a marker, made changes, set as default. A few slides later I decided I wanted to change the formatting and was able to do this.
I then decided to insert a "new marker" (rather than editing the current one) using the Insert menu and noticed that all the markers had disappeared (see screen shot attached).
Thanks Wendy. I am using 360 and I did save and close but got the same result when I opened the file again.
When I open a new 360 file, the insert icon function works fine. I will continue editing the icons for now as I'm up against short deadline, however, I will run a repair on it after it goes to Review.
After you've set the first one as default have you tested inserting a marker and modifying that one (either back to the original settings or something else you've defined)? Then you could choose to set that as a default.

Sorry not sure i understand - so when you do the different formatting you can't set that as the default marker? Can you share the slide,

Does this make sense?
Hi Tex is that SL3 or 360 you are using?
Have you tried saving the file, closing and then opening again and does that make any difference?
You might need to run a repair on it. For SL3 see here and for SL360 see here

Thanks again for all your help.
