ever notice this?

When I type out a title, and go with it, it always seems a bit off center right. I have to use the box to center titles, as that's the only way to control position. The system doesn't have center just right when I don't use a box. Anybody else notice, or have this happening?

Hello Videojim,

The title program has both a Center, left, or right alignment control and an up and down center, top, or bottom control.

To access the vertical spacing, click on "Line" and then you'll find a dialog box with the listings of: Charwidth......then Charspace......then Alignment ( which has in it. 3 alignments....left...Centered...and right ) and then the bottom line is called "Linespace" Yours must be set on "right".....but can be changed in a second or two.

If you click on "Boxes" you will find the controls for alignment the other way. In the list you will find the word "TEXT" click on it and it gives you the three choices of Top, Centered, or bottom.

Of course there is the manual way of controlling spacing....that of placing an empty line in there and changing the text size for imaginary letters in the line. This will move the lines around and allows you complete control of the location of your actual words of text within a title. For instance if you need the spacing between lines to be greater, just hit the carriage return button (enter) and it'll put an emply line in there. Hitting it again will place another emply line in there. If that isn't enough hit it again or increase the text size and you can put your title anywhere you like without having to rely on the Move Boxes button. However....in the long run, that probably is the fastest and simplest way of doing it with fewer clicks.

These centering controls have been with us in the Cassie since the very beginning, and in all operating systems since.
