Zoom region not visible

Hi.. I would appreciate some help

I have used Zoom regions for the first tine.... they are great! ... I set them up and they are working beautifully (in preview)

However I now cannot see the zoom region on my slide - so cannot change the size, move it etc

I thought I would be able to see the region when I clicked on it in the timeline... but no!

Am I missing something?.... 

I have attached a copy of one of the slides that use the Zoom region function so you can see what I mean!

Thanks

  • You can't see the Zoom Regions because their visibility has been turned off. (That's what the buttons in the eye-icon column are for.) 

    If you turn visibility back on, you'll be able to select and adjust the zooms. 

    FYI:

    • If you aren't seeing something on the slide that is in the Timeline, chances are the visibility is turned off. 
    • If you can't select something on the slide that is in the Timeline, chances are it's locked. (That's what the buttons in the lock-icon column do.)
  • AH Amazing - thanks Judy

    I was already aware of the lock icon and how that worked... I also already know about the visibility button, but never use it!!...

    I never thought to look at that in this case, as I didn't (on purpose) switch it off!!

    Thanks again

      I think most of us have clicked an eye- and/or lock-icon button without realizing it at least once. Welcome to the club. 😀
