Selecting Text

Editing in ProType Titler is based on your selection: depending on what you have selected in the workspace, different controls are displayed in the properties pane.

When a text block is selected, drag handles are displayed around the block:

• You can drag the handles to resize the block, or you can drag from the center to move the block in the workspace.

• When a text block is selected, you can use the properties pane to change the size, position, or rotation of the text block; change the opacity of the text, apply a gradient fill, or apply blur, drop shadow, or glow effects; or adjust line spacing, selection, or create a path for your text to follow.

• You can use the buttons in the main toolbar to move the selection to parent/child objects or navigate across objects at the same level. You can use this method to select individual words, letters, or lines to edit.

When you double-click a text block, you enter text edit mode, and you can select text in the same way you work with text in a word processor:

When text is selected in a text block, you can use the properties pane to change the appearance of the type: you can change the font, size, and style, and spacing; choose the fill and outline colors; or add strikethrough or underlining.
