Using Auto Size Mode for Rolling and Crawling Titles
Auto Size mode adds or removes pages automatically as you add, delete, or reformat the text.
Auto Size mode is on by default when you click the Rolling Title button or the Crawling Title
button.
You can turn off Auto Size mode if you want to add extra pages before or after the text (for
example, to make room for additional title elements). For more information, see “Working with
Pages in Rolling or Crawling Titles” on page 406.
To switch Auto Size mode off or on:
t Select Object > Auto Size Mode.
A check mark indicates that Auto Size mode is on.
Creating Text in a Rolling Title or a Crawling Title
Before you create a rolling or crawling title, set the text formatting defaults for attributes such as
font, point size, leading, and kerning. For more information, see “Setting Default Text
Attributes” on page 396.
When you type the text for a rolling or crawling title, lines of text wrap within the safe title area,
and the title scrolls down as you type. For rolling titles, this provides you with a sense of
positioning, word wrap, and page count limitations.
To type rolling or crawling title text:
1. Do one of the following:
t Select Clip > New Title.
t Select Tools > Title Tool.
The Title tool opens.
2. Click the Text tool in the toolbar.
