1. In the Edit Event Actions dialog, add and edit the event actions included in this Event. Event actions include Page Flips, Launch Actions or Actions. Note that each Event is essentially an Action List - an ordered list containing one or more of the supported actions.

Deleting Event Actions

Select an event action and click Delete to delete that event action from the list.

Clearing All Event Actions from an Event

Click Clear All to remove all event actions from the list.

1. Click OK to save changes and close the Edit Event Actions dialog.
