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.
