You need to check this box only when you work with Chinese (Traditional or Simplified),
Japanese (Hiragana or Katakana) or Korean (Hangul).
If you do have a file like option 2 above where each line is pre-formatted as an individual
caption, you should the check the box
and MacCaption is going to import each line as an individual caption.

Note: File format described in Option 2 is not recommended. MacCaption will break long
individual text lines into multiple lines arbitrarily. Use file formats described in option 1.
You will have much better control to break the text into individual captions to your liking
as described below.
On the other hand, most of the time text is going to be unformatted as shown in option 1 above.
In that case you should have the box checked as shown below:
 Check the Maximum number of text rows box. Choose 2 text rows for Pop-on/Paint-on or
1 text row for Roll-up. For this tutorial choose 2 .
 Check the Maximum number of characters box. The usual number of characters per line
is 26 for Pop-on/Paint-on or 29 for Roll-up. For this tutorial choose 26.
• Treat each line of text as one caption.
• Combine text lines to form captions.
