Forum Topic - from a beginner: shoul i be disappointed?

Hello,

Yesterday I bought MMS, because of various very positive references, especially regarding flexibility.

My first experiences were a bit disappointing, I must say. But maybe I didn't explore enough yet - and/or need help with  the following questions:

- (How) Can I create my own page layout templates and store them in My Pages Library or so? I mostly use a standard landscape page with my own vague background photo, one big landscape photobox with border, 1 big text comment box, 1 small text comment box. The second template should be the same, except the big photobox: it should be portrait.

- (How) Can I add an automatic page numbering to the album pages? I mean: a visible number in the right hand bottom corner, that changes when I change the page order.

Maybe more issues will come up later.

Hopefully this forum can provide me with answers. It is not very busy, as it seems. Because it is pretty new? Or?

Is Lisa one of the owners/developers of the software/website?

Thanks for helping,

Yesterday I bought MMS, because of various very positive references, especially regarding flexibility. MMS is a very flexible program and has some great features, I am going to try to help you get the most out of your software!

My first experiences were a bit disappointing, I must say. But maybe I didn't explore enough yet - and/or need help with  the following questions:

- (How) Can I create my own page layout templates and store them in My Pages Library or so? I mostly use a standard landscape page with my own vague background photo, one big landscape photobox with border, 1 big text comment box, 1 small text comment box. The second template should be the same, except the big photobox: it should be portrait. You can always recreate a page over and over again, but using the INSERT DUPLICATE PAGE feature in your software.  After you create a page you'd like to reuse again, go up to INSERT and select INSERT DUPLICATE PAGE - the software will create an exact duplicate of your page for you to use again.  If you have just your photo boxes and text boxes on the page, it should create those again for you on the duplicate page.  If you wish to keep an album of "template pages" that you create you can do that and then import them into any othe project you are creating by selecting INSERT again, and then IMPORT FROM MY PROJECTS - that will allow you to select any album you currently have that you created and pull one or more pages from that album.

- (How) Can I add an automatic page numbering to the album pages? I mean: a visible number in the right hand bottom corner, that changes when I change the page order. There isn't a way that I know of to add auto numbering to the pages, but if you look at the project tray at the bottom of your screen each little thumbnail of your page has a small number on it to show you what number page that is.

Maybe more issues will come up later. Please feel free to ask - or even email me directly at [email protected].  We also have a very busy Facebook page where you can always find help and information as well! MyMemoriesSuite Facebook page

Hopefully this forum can provide me with answers. It is not very busy, as it seems. Because it is pretty new? Or? Yes. the forum is pretty new, most people communicate via the Facebook page and that is VERY busy! :-)

Is Lisa one of the owners/developers of the software/website? Nope, just a helper bee!

Hope that answers some of your questions!
