Using object styles
With the Adobe Title Designer, you can apply a custom style to each object or group of
objects you create. Styles can consist of any variation of any properties you add to your
objects. These properties include strokes, fills, sheens, textures, shadows, as well as font
types. Using styles helps you maintain consistency across multiple titles in a project. You
can save your favorite styles and apply them to other objects.
Object Style properties
Setting object styles for text
The Object Style Properties section of the Adobe Title Designer provides several controls
for setting and adjusting the styles you apply to titles.
To change an object style for a text object:
1 Select the text object you want to modify.
2 In the Object Style section of the Adobe Title Designer, click the arrow next to
Properties, and set values for any of the following options:
Font Specifies the font applied to the selected text object. To view a font in its typeface,
use the Font Browser. For more information on using the Font Browser, see “Using type
tools” on page 197.
Font Size Specifies the font’s size, in scan lines.
Aspect Specifies the horizontal scale of the selected font. This value is a percentage of
the
font’s natural aspect ratio. Values less than 100% narrow the text. Values above 100%
widen the text.
Leading Specifies the amount of space between lines of type. For roman type, leading is
measured from the baseline of one line of type to the baseline of the next line. For vertical
text, leading is measured from the center of one line of type to the center of the next
line.In the Adobe Title Designer, the baseline is the line underneath the text. You can
apply
more than one leading amount within the same paragraph; however, the largest leading
value in a line of type determines the leading value for that line.
Note: To turn the text baselines on or off, choose Title > View > Text Baselines. Text
baselines appear only when you select the text object.

Kerning Specifies the amount of space you add or subtract between specific character
pairs. The value indicates the percentage of character width between the character pairs.
Place the cursor at the point where you want to adjust kerning.
Tracking Specifies the amount of space between a range of letters. The value indicates
the percentage of character width between the specified range of characters. The
direction of the text tracking is based on the justification of the text. For example, center
justified text tracks from the center. Adjusting the tracking is useful when your contiguous
text has thick strokes that cause the characters to blend into each other, making them
hard to read. Adjust the tracking for all the text in a text box by selecting the text box and
changing the Tracking value. You can also adjust the tracking between specific contiguous
characters by selecting only those characters and changing the Tracking value.
Baseline Shift Specifies the distance of the characters from the baseline. Raise or lower
the selected type to create superscripts or subscripts. Changing the Baseline Shift value
affects all characters. Adjust the baseline shift for all the text in a text box by selecting the
