This is driving me nuts. I've searched forums, manual, help section and can't find the answer. Following a helpful PDF from this forum I made a stagger animation for text write-on. Somehow I put a feather on the stagger so the text has a soft edge as it's writing on. Boss says lose the feather. No problem, I'll just... um, edit? No. Properties? No. Where the...? Where do I turn off/adjust the feather? I must have found it once but no clue where that was.

So it's not feathering. Turning the Character Offset up higher minimizes the fade. Not entirely sure why. Seems like the opposite should be true. Hey, it works, boss is happy, on to the next puzzle!
