Preserve the open master or layout, and turn its title and footer
placeholders on or off. Each change is one undo step, and a value that
is already set is not.

Copy puts HTML on the pasteboard with the same plain words, so Pages keeps
bold, italic and underline, and a paste of that HTML keeps them here. A
shape with no text copies out as a picture.

design.effects replaces the theme's format scheme (fills, lines and
effects) with DeckCraft, Soft, Crisp, Lift, Glow or Plain. Colours and
fonts stay. The scheme already in use is not an undo step.

The Fill slider seeded itself at 0% and wrote that when it lost focus, so a
solid fill that was already transparent opened as opaque and could be cleared.

A picture background can set transparency, tile, offset, scale,
alignment and mirror. A solid fill can set transparency. Apply to All
copies the current slide's background, including a picture, onto every
slide. Unchanged options are not an undo step.

Design › Fonts › Customize Fonts… opens Create New Theme Fonts.
Empty design.fonts params open the dialog; a name and heading or body
faces apply to the open master in one undo.

Insert Hyperlink opened on https:// with an empty ScreenTip, so OK
replaced a web address, email, slide link or tip. The dialog now
starts from the link it would edit, and leaves actions it cannot
edit in place.
Design › Colors › Customize Colors… opens the dialog when design.colors
is called with no name and no colours. Save applies that scheme name and
the twelve theme colours together, as one undo.

The dialog always opened with Mark as decorative unchecked, so OK
cleared a shape that was already decorative. It now starts checked
when every selected shape is.
Insert › Date & Time opens the format list instead of placing a date
immediately. With no format, update flag or language, insert.dateTime
opens the dialog and does not edit. OK applies one undo: a field when
Update automatically is on, or the shown text when it is off.

Insert › Images opens Photo Album. insert.photoAlbum adds the pictures
and text boxes as slides in the open presentation, one undo step, with
layouts, frames and captions. Omitting pictures opens the dialog.

format.paragraphDialog applies alignment, first-line and hanging
indents, spacing and line spacing in one undo step. With no fields it
opens the dialog from the Home › Paragraph launcher. Tabs… opens a
standalone Tabs dialog and returns to Paragraph.

format.fontDialog applies family, size, bold, italic, underline, colour,
strikethrough, baseline, caps and spacing together, so one undo restores
them. With no fields it asks the UI to open the dialog, seeded from the
selection. Home › Font, the shape menu and Cmd+T open it.

Insert › Icons places seventy Lucide 1.56.0 stroke icons as custom
geometry: no fill, round caps, and a line width scaled from the
24-unit design. The gallery searches by name. SVG paths, including
arcs, are converted when the icon is inserted so the renderer strokes
the outline.

File › New and the start screen offer Briefing, Lesson, Pitch, Field Notes,
Quarterly and Evening Talk. Each is a few slides of our own text on one of
our themes. file.new takes template, and file.templates lists them. Passing
a theme as well, or blank, is refused. PowerPoint's large gallery is still
open.

The sorter draws a bar for each section. Add Section splits at the current
slide, double-click renames in place, the chevron collapses that section, and

The title bar's quick access buttons become a list the user controls:

The editor had one window, so looking at another slide meant leaving
the one you were editing. View › New Window opens one more window on
the same presentation. That window keeps its own slide and shows edits
from the first window. Closing it leaves the presentation open.
Arrange All is not included.

Adds text.find (match case, whole words; matches in shape text, table
cells and speaker notes) and text.replace (one match or all, as one
undo step, keeping the first run's formatting). Home gets Find and

The editing canvas, thumbnails and layout previews were drawn between
physical pixels, so a linear filter blurred small text. The slide show
draws much larger glyphs, which is why presenting still looked sharp (#184).

A selected text warp shows one yellow handle per adjust.
Dragging it sets that guide value in one undo step.

shape.pointType makes a vertex smooth (handles in line and equal),
straight (in line) or corner (independent), turning its segments into
curves so it has handles. shape.moveHandle drags a control handle; the
other one follows as the point's type says (given, or read from the
handles). shape.points also reports each vertex's type.
Canvas: clicking a vertex shows its handles, which drag (one undo step
per drag) and follow the type chosen for it. Right-click a vertex for
Smooth / Straight / Corner Point and Delete Point, or anywhere for Exit
Edit Points; a shape's context menu gets Edit Points. The selection box
is hidden while points are edited.

New cmd::points with shape.editPoints (enter/leave; a preset becomes a
freeform in shape-local points), shape.points (vertices in slide points),
shape.movePoint, shape.addPoint (splits a line, quadratic or cubic
segment) and shape.deletePoint. After each change the box is fitted
around the outline and kept in place on the slide, rotation and flips
included. Closing edges are made explicit so they take points too.
On the canvas the edited shape shows its vertices as handles: drag one
(one undo step per drag), Cmd/Ctrl-click a vertex to delete it or the
outline to add one; Escape, Enter or a click elsewhere leaves Edit
Points. Shape Format ▸ Edit Shape gets an Edit Points item.
Not yet: smooth/straight/corner point types and Bézier control handles.

font.replace {from, to} renames a font family everywhere it is named
explicitly: runs (latin, east Asian, complex script and symbol faces), end
marks, bullet fonts, list styles of shapes, layouts and masters, the master
text styles, the deck default style, notes, tables and the theme fonts, so
placeholders that follow the theme change too. Names compare
case-insensitively, theme references (+mn-lt) are left alone, a replace that
finds nothing adds no undo step, and missing fonts are recomputed.
font.used lists the families the slides draw in, for the dialog's Replace
list.
Home gets a Replace Fonts… button opening the dialog: Replace (fonts in the
deck), With (type or pick from installed fonts), and it stays open with a
confirmation like PowerPoint's. Ribbon small buttons now expose their label
to accessibility, which the UI test uses to click it.

shape.effects gains `threeD`: top and bottom bevel (preset, width,
height), depth, contour, material, lighting, camera preset, X/Y/Z
rotation, distance from ground, and reset. The settings are read from and
written back to the shape's kept a:scene3d / a:sp3d XML (new
cmd::three_d), so they render through the existing camera and bevel code
and survive a PPTX save; extrusion and contour colours are kept as is.
The `bevel` key used to set only Effects::bevel, which neither the
renderer nor the PPTX writer reads, so a bevel set from the app vanished
on save; it now goes through the same path.
The Effects page of the Format Shape pane gets 3-D Format and 3-D
Rotation sections.

shape.fill gains pictureProps for a picture fill: tile on/off, tile
offset X/Y (pt), scale X/Y, alignment and mirror type, stretch offsets
(left/top/right/bottom), and rotate with shape. `transparency` now also
sets a picture fill's opacity. Values are clamped and unknown keywords or
non-finite numbers ignored. The Fill page of the Format Shape pane gets a
"Picture or texture fill" option with a picture source button and these
controls. The model, renderer and PPTX reader/writer already carry the
fields; a new engine test checks they survive a PPTX save and reopen.

Shape Format ▸ Text Effects lists the 40 prstTxWarp presets and
No Transform. format.textWarp sets or clears that warp on the
selected text, with optional adjust values.

shape.effects gains shadowProps / glowProps / reflectionProps that adjust
the current effect (or add a default one): shadow colour, transparency,
blur, angle and distance; glow colour, transparency and size; reflection
transparency, size, distance and blur. Values are clamped, non-finite ones
ignored. The Effects page of the Format Shape pane exposes them as sliders
and colour pickers.

The Format Shape pane's Line page had only colour, width and dash. It now
has PowerPoint's compound type, cap type, join type, begin/end arrow type
and begin/end arrow size drop-downs, and the Size page has Lock aspect
ratio for the width and height fields. shape.line gains compound,
headSize and tailSize, and changing an arrow's kind keeps its size.

* Engine: file.info and PowerPoint-style print slide ranges (#76)
file.info reports what File › Info shows (name, path, format, unsaved
changes, slide and hidden-slide counts, sections, size on disk,
properties). file.export's PDF `slides` also takes the range typed in
PowerPoint's Print page ("1-3, 5", 1-based); bad or out-of-range text is
an error instead of a silent full export.

* UI: the File tab (Backstage) like PowerPoint's (#76)
File (first ribbon tab) or Alt+F opens a full-window view in place of the
ribbon, slides and status bar: a side menu (Back, Home, New, Open, Info,
Save, Save As, Print, Export, Close; Account and Options at the bottom)
and the chosen page. Esc or Back returns; Up/Down walk the side menu and
show each page as it gets the focus; Enter runs Save/Close/Options.
Laid out after PowerPoint for Windows as observed: 160-pt menu a step
darker than the page, outline icons, current page in the accent colour.
The start screen is now File › Home (as in PowerPoint), with only Home,
New and Open at the top and no Back. Pages call existing commands and
file helpers: file.new {theme} and the sample deck (Home, New); recent
files with search, Browse and Recover Unsaved (Open); file.info and
file.properties, Accessibility Checker, Revert (Info); file.save /
file.saveAs / file.export by type (Save, Save As); a PDF with the Print
page's slides, layout (full page, notes, handouts 1-9), hidden slides and
frames, opened in the system viewer or downloaded on the web, with a
page preview (Print, Ctrl+P); Create PDF, Create Handouts and Change File
Type (Export); appearance and About (Account); Preferences (Options).
Share (cloud) is left out.
Close and Ctrl+W now ask Save / Don't Save / Cancel about unsaved
changes instead of closing at once. The Export dialog shares
SlideApp::export_as with the Export page. New UI commands: app.backstage
{page}, app.closePresentation, app.print; ui.inspect reports the page.
New icons drawn in code: back, save as, account, recent, new file, open
folder.
