and Page Down. If you enter the wrong key macro, just press the 
correct key(s) to overwrite it.

field. You can register up to 16 key macros.

Saving and Recalling Effects Button Assignments
You can save more than one set of Effects button assignments if you 
want to use different functions with different presentations. You 
might also want to save more than one set if you want to use the 
same functions, but apply a different look to certain effects (for 
example, a different stamp or pointer). 
Follow these steps to save a set of Effects button assignments: 
1. Click Registration on the ELP Link III main dialog box.
2. When you see the Function Setting Register dialog box, type a 
name for the set and click OK.
If you create more than one set of Effects button assignments, the 
last set you created will be active until you select a different set.

set, it disappears as soon as you recall another set.

box in the upper left corner of the ELP Link III main dialog box.

click Delete.

Assigning Functions to the Keyboard
You can also assign functions to keys or key combinations on your 
keyboard. Because these assignments remain in effect until you 
clear them, you can customize the keyboard of a computer that you 
frequently use with the projector. You can then use the keyboard 
instead of the Effects keys on the remote control.

key or key combination. To use the combination of the Ctrl key
