Chapter 16 DVD Authoring
Kerning and Leading control the “a-b” tool but only in the case of text objects. Select a text object
and use the mouse pointer to drag the text frame to the left or right and change letter spacing (=
kerning).
For multi-line text objects, you can change line spacing by dragging the mouse pointer vertically
(= leading).
Drag one of the corner handles to distort the object.
The Chain and Broken Chain are tools for grouping and ungrouping objects.
Use
CTRL + click to select the objects you want to group together. Then click the chain button.
You can ungroup objects by clicking one of the group elements and then clicking the broken
chain button.
To align objects, click the button with the two horizontal arrows. Select the relevant objects
(
CTRL + click) and select the desired option from the menu (click the buttons!).
To position objects, click this button to open a small menu. After you select an option, a selected
object is positioned at a defined location on the desktop, such as in the upper right-hand corner.
The scale is the “safe range” indicated by the red dashed line.
These are the standard copy, cut and paste buttons, plus the trash button for deleting objects.
Character Properties
These buttons should also be familiar: B for bold, I for italics and U for underline, plus the font list and
font sizes specified in points as provided by the Windows operating system. The line button (circled in
red) provides a menu with additional text formatting commands, such as the left/right/centered align-
ment of text lines.
Select the text just as you would with a word processing program (by running the cursor over the text) so
that the changes will be applied.
