Can you copy a Zoom Region?

Thanks Joyce - problem is these slides are a result of a"view step by step" screen recording, so at times I want to show the next steps but essentially have the same zoom area, else it seems like its "bouncing around". 

We should be able to set the position and size of the zoom window, relative to the slide itself, like we can with shapes/etc.   (Or copy & paste them).   Was that ever a suggested feature?

Another option that works is to duplicate the entire slide, then put your new content under the saved zoom area.

Cool! So glad you found this thread! That's precisely the reason why we don't archive older discussions. :)

I know this is from a while ago (I don't believe this is still supported) but good thinking Bruce!  Saved me sometime :)

Thanks for sharing Bruce!

What you may also wish to try, as I wanted to pan between pages in a system simulation, is to insert a shape onto the first page, align it with the Zoom/Focus area, then cut it and paste it onto the second page.  Your area & location is now defined by this shape and you can then insert a zoom area around this shape which you can pan from, to the second zoom area on page two.

Move the shape to the position of the second Zoom/Focus area on page two, then cut and paste it into page 3 etc.  Perfect panning between areas on different pages.  Just remember to Start the first Zoom/Focus at the beginning of the timeline and have both Zoom/Focus areas touching in the timeline.

Thanks for sharing Jean and Welcome to the community!

I have the same problem.

Currently I display the ruler, grid & guide, then I try to align the different zoom on the grid.

It's not accurate but better than nothing. However it would be great to have something that we can simply duplicate from a slide to an other. 

Clever!

Hi Sean,
