Text Issues
I can't move a text box!
When
you left-click on an unselected text object, it will select the
object. The object will grow a title bar, a frame, and a set of
resizing bars. If you only wanted to move the object, don¡¯t release
the mouse button ¨C you can drag the object anywhere you like until
you release the mouse button. Once you release the mouse button,
the program will insert a text editing caret next to the text you
clicked on.
How do I resize a text box?
First, click
on the text box to select it, you should see a red border with 8
red squares around the box.
These squares are points where you can enlarge or reduce
the size of the text box.
You can resize the box by clicking on any of the little red
resize bars scattered around its border and then dragging them.
Can I adjust how the Contents Info/Tracks
text box shows?
Yes! You can
adjust how the columns look by ¡°right¡± clicking on the column in
the Contents info box and selecting which columns to show. You can
show or hide the ¡°Number¡±, ¡°Song Title¡±, ¡°Artist¡± and ¡°Length¡± columns.
You can also decide if you want a ¡°fixed width¡± column or a ¡°variable
width¡± column.
.
What's a fixed width column?
In fixed-width
mode, all rows of a column will be the same width. If you set the
"track name" column to be 2.5 centimeters wide, every track will
have a 2.5-centimeter-wide track name. All rows will line up exactly
underneath each other, like the rows in a spreadsheet or a table
in a word processor.
What's a variable width column?
In variable-width
mode, each column of each row will be exactly as wide as required
to display the amount of text. The title for "You¡¯ve Certainly
Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts" will be wider than the title
for "Louie Louie." The rows in the text object will not
line up directly underneath each other, unless all their text fields
happen to be exactly the same length.
However, in variable-width columns mode, there will
be a fixed amount of space between columns. If you specify 1.2 centimeters
after the track number column, every row will have 1.2 centimeters
of blank space between its track number and the field that follows
it, no matter how wide individual track numbers may be. When you¡¯re
in variable-width columns mode and you drag the column borders in
the header bar, you¡¯re actually editing the width between the columns
rather than the widths of the columns themselves.
