Chuck, I know that there are problems with the scroll function, so I'm not sure if this is a know problem. I just finished creating five scrolls. I don't know how many lines, but the font used was Doughboy at 35 points. The speed was set to number 2 and the total length of each scroll was about 40 seconds. That should give you an idea of the size. The type was inputed from an ASCII file. I wanted the type to be centered and have drop shadows. I double clicked on a line of type in CG, got the entire page to darken and then set the above functions. I then pressed the slate to make sure that the text had these attributes. It did. I then saved it and pulled the save crouton into the project screen. When it appeared on the screen, some of the lines of copy were not centered. In some cases, only the first line had drop shadow. I had created 5 different scrolls. In each scroll, the lines that were not centered were different. IOW, on one scroll, the first line would not be centered. On another scroll the first line was centered but halfway down a line would not be centered. I am having to go into each page and set separate line to make them center. Is this a known problem or something new? Fred
