The Text Caption is typically used to display text on the screen. In its most basic form, the Text Caption is a text item that appears and disappears from the screen according to its position on the Timeline. On the second slide of your project, the bottom text area is a Text Caption. Let's select it and examine what you can do with it.
There are two editing modes available when working with Text Captions:
- First, you can consider the Text Caption as an object. In this case, eight white squares appear around the Text Caption. These white squares are the handles used to resize the Text Caption. In this mode, you can move the Text Caption around and resize it, but you cannot edit the text inside the Text Caption.
- To edit the text, you must be in text-editing mode. In text editing mode, the eight white handles disappear and a blinking cursor appears in the Text Caption.
To switch from object mode to text-editing mode, double-click the Text Caption...
