General Title Information

By default, when you add a title to a picture, the picture is static. No motion, or panning and zooming effects are applied to pictures with titles. To add panning and zooming effects to pictures with titles, you must customize the motion for the picture. For more information about customizing motion, see customizing motion and selecting transitions.(  Photo Story: Advanced Features )

You can also apply effects to pictures that change the appearance of the picture. For example, you might want to apply the Black and White effect to every picture that introduces a new section of your story. Using an effect can also make a title on a picture stand out more.(  Photo Story: Advanced Features )

• The title can have a maximum of 1,024 characters. The text wraps in the picture preview area.

• If you want to manually control which text appears on each line, separate lines by pressing the ENTER key.

• You can edit your pictures on any page in Photo Story on which the film strip appears by right-clicking a picture, pointing to Edit, and then clicking the option you want.
