Creating Menus in Adobe Encore DVD
Converting text blocks to buttons
Now you’re ready to create buttons for the menu. In Adobe Encore DVD, you can create
buttons from moving or still images you import, or text you type into a menu—or you
can use predesigned buttons from the Library palette. For this project, you’ll convert the
text blocks you created earlier into buttons.
1 With the direct select tool, select the three text blocks. (Press the Ctrl key to select
multiple objects.)
2 Choose Object > Align > Left.
The text blocks are aligned on the left side, matching the left edge of the first text block
you selected.
3 Then choose Object > Distribute > Vertically.
The text blocks are distributed so that the vertical spaces between them are equal.
4 With the text blocks still selected, choose Object > Convert to Button.
