Just got started with PowerDirector 11. Am very familiar with the Adobe Creative Suite; use PhotoShop, Illustrator, GoLive, and InDesign on a daily basis. But can't sort out the ins and outs of PowerDir.

Current problem is with Titles.

I open the Titles Room, and see in the manual (pg 143) that I can type in text. The printed manual tells me to click on the "Tt+" button to add text. But there's no "Tt+" button to be found. Hello?!

Very frustrating!

Anyone know where the little rascal is hiding?

NovelistInVegas,

The box you are looking for is not hidden, but is more like +Tt.

See the attached screen shot for more info, and I think you will find it. (I have it circled)

Hope this helps

Hal

Thanks, guys. I solved it by using my bean, though, about 5 seconds after I posted the whine. Went to the Mad Corgie*'s tutorial on Titles and saw that I had to start a custom title first. And there it was, the little rascal.
