    Hi Guys

    Im sure one of you talented Guys Can tell me if & how to Reposition the text on 3D I have a background picture of a girl & want to put her Name in spinning letters over the top but the letters always seem to be in the center of the page which means they spin across her face. Can i Move the lettering towards the bottom of the page.

    Hi, Mark,
    the easiest way is simply to position the cursor to the left of the text, then press Return a few times. Remember that Xara3D is primarily a text-based application, so you can move text around on a page by typing or deleting Carriage Returns, or Space characters to the left of a line of text.

    Think Notepad!

    There are other positioning tools that can be used, too, like resizing linespacing, or individual characters, and so on.

    You can also hold down an ALT key and drag the text around the work area. Mike mentioned resizing the text and you will probably have to do that because the default fit to screen makes the text almost fill the work area.

    Good tip about the Alt-drag, Bill, I forgot about that one. Must be my age, these days it sounds much better in hex!
