CHAPTER 7 240
Creating Titles
The new text uses the current color, transparency, and gradient settings. See “Using color,
transparency, and gradients” on page 249.
To edit existing type:
1
Do one of the following:
•
To change attributes uniformly within a text object, select the selection tool ( ) and click the
text. The entire text object is selected, and handles appear at the corners of the text object.
•
To edit the text or apply different type attributes to individual characters, select the type
tool, click a text object, and then drag to select the text you want to change. For example, you
can apply a different color and size to one of the words in a title.
Note: The selection tool overrides uniquely formatted characters. For example, if you use the type
tool to apply a blue color to one word, and then you use the selection tool to apply a red color to
the text object containing the blue word, all the characters in the text object become red. However,
any text attributes you don’t change remain intact.
2
Do any combination of the following:
•
To change the font, choose Title > Font and select a font. In Windows, click OK.
•
To change the type style, choose Title > Style and choose from the Style menu. The Plain,
Bold, Italic, and Underline styles work as they do in a word processor. The Emboss style creates
a slightly offset copy of the text behind the original text.
•
To change the font size, choose Title > Size and choose a type size.
•
To change the color, see “Using color, transparency, and gradients” on page 249.
•
To specify spacing between lines, choose Title > Leading and choose a leading (line spacing)
adjustment from the menu. Reset Leading restores the default leading for the font.
