I insert play and pause buttons in my projects, but it seems like I have to add a new one each and every time...and reformat it everytime! Is there a way I can save a pause button with the formatting that I want so I can use it later and in other projects?
If your buttons are on a slide, you can create a presentation with one slide with the buttons on it. Save it and when you start a new presentation, import that slide. Then you can copy and paste the buttons where you want them.
Alternatively, you can save the slide as a template. Use it to start every new presentation, and you'll have the buttons. Eventually, you will have a template with several custom slides and objects that you constantly reuse.

Hi Caryn!
I'm not aware of a way to save your own custom buttons to use across projects, but perhaps this article will assist you.
You can save and re-use your player though and you can check that out here.

Good points Stacia! Thanks for sharing :)
