# Creating and Editing A Message

top

To create a new message:

1. Tap "New" on the menu. A blank message template will appear. (If you are instead taken to a screen with pre-made templates, you can choose one to use as opposed to a blank template.)
2. To add a photo or video clip, tap in the designated area:
   1. Tap where indicated to select your photo or video.
   2. The next screen will display your available files. Use the pull-down in the top-left corner to change the folder location.
   3. Tap on the photo or video that you want, then tap the checkmark button.
3. Tap within the text box to edit the text message; tap "OK" (on the top-right corner of the screen) when you're finished*.
4. Tap where indicated to select an audio clip for inclusion in the message. After you select the file you want*, tap the checkmark button. Note: you can only add an audio clip to a slide if it contains a photo. You cannot add audio if you use a video clip.

* In addition to choosing one of the available photos, videos, or audio files, you may be able to record new audio. You can also include pre-saved "canned" text instead of typing a new message:

- To record audio: Tap the "Record" button on the audio selection screen. Use the record/stop buttons to capture narration or other audio effects.
- To include canned text: Tap the voice bubble icon within the text field. You can then choose previously saved words, phrases, sentences, etc. Tap and hold on the canned text screen and choose "New" to create a new canned text message.

You are not only limited to creating one slide. Your message can consist of multiple slides which can be edited and rearranged at any time:

- To change the contents of a slide: Tap on any component (photo/video, text, audio clip) and select a new one.
- To add an additional slide to a message: Tap "Edit" on the menu and choose "Insert Slide."
- To remove a slide from a message: Tap "Edit" on the menu, then choose "Delete Slide."
- To alter the order of the slides in a message: Tap "Edit" on the menu, then choose "Organize Slides." Tap and drag a slide to change the order.

You may send a message by tapping the "Send" button.

You may send messages to mobile phones, email addresses, or both. You may also type in a subject. As your message is being sent, it will appear in the Outbox. When sending is complete, the message will move to the Sent folder (if there is a problem, it will remain in the Outbox).
