iDVD Addendum—Chapter 2

Editing Text
Not all text needs to be in service of buttons
or submenus—edit and add your own text
boxes. The following steps apply to changing
the contents of text blocks; in the next chap-
ter, I’ll cover more settings such as changing
the font and style.
To edit text:
1. Click once to select a button or title, and
then click again to select the text (Figure
2.22). Don’t double-click the button,
however, because that will either play its
movie or take you to a submenu.
2.
Type your text. Hit Return or Enter to
break the line (Figure 2.23).
3.
Click outside the text field to deselect it
and accept your changes.
To add new text:
1. Choose Add Text from the Project menu,
or press Command-K. A new text block
appears (Figure 2.24).
2.
Edit the text as described above.
3. Position the text by dragging it where
you want it; unlike the default behavior
of buttons and menu titles, which snap
to an invisible grid, a new text block can
be placed anywhere on the screen. (See
the next chapter for more on positioning
buttons.)
4 Tip
n If the Inspector window is visible, the
font formatting controls do not appear
beneath the text.
To delete text:
1. Click a text block once to select it.
2. Press the Delete key, or choose Delete
from the Edit menu. The text vanishes.
Figure 2.22 Click a button twice (but don’t double-
click) to edit its text.
