For Pauses
Step Name
The name of the selected pause appears here. It is possible to change this name. When it has been changed, the Apply button becomes available.
Set
When this option is selected, the pause and Duration options are inactive. When dealing with a pause, it is not recommended to use set, as a pause is usually intended to occupy a period without any actions.
Animate
In contrast to the set option, when animate is selected the animation runs for a specified period. As a pause does not contain an action, selecting animate by clicking Apply converts it back to pause.
Pause/Duration
A pause is usually inserted into a sequence to occupy a period without any actions. However, as in the case of a step, actions can be set in a pause.
When a pause is created, the default duration value is applied as specified on the Animation dialog page under the Preferences menu command. You can alter the value in the entry field. When it has been changed, the Apply button becomes available. The pause duration value you enter must not exceed the period of unoccupied time that is available. A figure must be entered for the pause duration. When it has been changed, the Apply button becomes available.
