    I was unable to locate the “Pause” icon at the bottom and left in the Progress Bar. Has that been removed? Ed Weidman

      No, Ed – it’s possible the browser is crowding out some of the screen. Try clicking on the “Open in a new window” link underneath the screen shot. That should let you display all the controls.

    Great Explanation of these tools. I have been watching a number of these videos in succession and was wondering if it is at all possible to have them come up larger in my monitor, as sometimes the details of what is being “clicked on” are just barely legible. Otherwisae – great stuff. I wish I had found some fo these sooner.

    Great stuff, how did Mike get all those custom shapes?? In the last few seconds of the video he opens his custom shapes tool and there must be 150 in there. I only have 30.

      Hi Mark-

      It sounds like you have the Default group of shapes showing. If you pull down the Shapes Picker menu in the Options Bar and then click the little double-triangle menu on the right, you’ll see a whole list of shape categories. Click on All Elements Shapes to see everything in there.
