Cripes that seems very complicated and time consuming. I can do it but what would be your preferred method? If I can select random words and move them pixel by pixel to align them (as I do now) then I'd be ok with that. This would have to be done in layout mode though right? In Sequence ...

My bounding box is covering the two lines and the widest point on X but the logic is only recognising the width of the top line. not the lower line which is wider. ------------------------------ Mark Isbell ------------------------------

From what I can tell, the bounding box is covering the two lines. see pic. The bottom line is a different font but part of the same text box. ------------------------------ Mark ------------------------------

With your last option there, I create a scene for each job title and name and then put a delay on each in the crawl? ------------------------------ Mark Isbell ------------------------------

The first picture is what I need. a long crawl and obviously the name lengths will differ week to week. Second is my attempt at Visual Logic. Is that the kind of thing that would work? I've no experience with VL. Thanks again ------------------------------ Mark Isbell -------------------- ...

Thank you I do use tabs but these ones are jumping all over the place. The first one is zero and that can't be changed. it sounds like the best thing to do is a text box for the first job title then return and type the name underneath. Then set up spacing using logic for the next job ...

Thanks Red. I feel that creating a top line text and then a bottom line text its the best way. I'm not sure how those tab options work. Is there a tutorial for those?! sorry As I say, sometimes the spaces will be different depending on the length of the names in the second line and I may ...

Hi all! Is there a way to move a word/text line etc by pixel instead of using space bar? I don't have access to an Xpression keyboard at the moment so I'm thinking I need that. Also I need some help creating a credits crawl right to left. I can do one line but the issue ...

Hi all. My first post! So much great info here. I use borders on images a lot too. Are there any plans to implement borders/edges for shapes within Xpression? ------------------------------ Mark Isbell ------------------------------
