Quote: Newbie to PD, trying to learn the ropes.
How come for the life of me I cannot create a title choosing a typeface and size from the drop down menus? I've gone round and round and round with it trying to do it and IT JUST WONT DO IT! Can someone help?

Richard,

Open PD Click "Help" and select "About"

What is the build number of PowerDirector you are using?

1731b is the latest version go to the link provided to download the upgrade patch.

I think that will resolve your dilemma.

Hi Richard,
Is it possible that you have not double clicked the text box? You then enter edit mode. Highlight the text then click on the typeface and size as required

Hope this helps

BINGO! Absolutely, the downloaded 1731 patch did the trick! Thanks!
