Using the Adobe Title Designer
The Adobe Title Designer recognizes each text or graphic element you create as an object.
You can apply various styles to these objects to enhance the look of your titles. For more
information on applying styles, see "Using object styles" on page 30.
Using text tools for typing text
The Adobe Title Designer includes several tools for creating text. Use the text tools to
create text that is oriented horizontally, vertically, or along a path. You can choose to create
text that is confined only by the drawing area boundaries, or create a text box with specific
boundaries. You can also specify whether horizontal and vertical text wraps automatically.
To type horizontal or vertical text confined only by the drawing area boundaries:
In the Adobe Title Designer window, do one of the following:
1
To type horizontal text, click the horizontal type tool
•
•
To type vertical text, click the vertical type tool
2
In the drawing area, click where you want to begin, and then type the text.
Note: By default, text wraps when it reaches the title safe margin. To prevent this, choose
Title > Word Wrap to turn Word Wrap off. When Word Wrap is off, press Enter (Windows)
or Return (Mac OS) to type a new line.

When you are finished typing, select the selection tool and click outside the text
box area.
