titles off center

[videojim]

Somehow I have managed to get the titles off the left of center, and can't figure out how to center them again. No matter what I fiddle with, I can't figure this one out. Any ideas? Thanks!

Well, if you are saying they are starting on the left or some such you go into Text, Line and set the Alignment to centered.

Not positive that is what you did or are after Jim, but the easiest way to center them at this point might be manually.

Go into Boxes, Extended, min. size, Move and then just move the box so your Title is centered.

Tim,
Ok, I'll try those things and see what they do for me. Thanks! Anybody else got something else I might do, in case these don't work?

Is there a way of centering the boxes on the screen without using the mouse ball?

Text alignment is not all found in the same place, a little annoying, but that’s how it is.

“Enter/edit text” – “Line” allows you to set text alignment – left centre or right.

“Boxes” – “Text” places the text either top, centre or bottom of the box.

“Pages” – “All lines” places the text lines to either top, centre or bottom of the page.

Is one of these the setting what you are looking for?

Remember, even when you cannot see a box, there is still a box there, it may be set to maximum size and therefore not visible on the TV screen.

“Extended” – and then setting the box to visible size or minimum size will make the box boundaries visible.

And yes with the “Box” set to visible or maximum, the “Text” set to “centre”, will place the text in the centre of the screen. You can later set the box to min size after then, if required.

Your ideas were quite helpful. I found that the alignment was set in the "line" box, as you said. Its the little details like this that I was not familiar with. Appreciate your help. Thanks
