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
