272 10. Captions

Changing the Skew value causes all of the characters in your caption to
lean to the left or right. The values can be anything from -360 degrees to a
full 360 degrees. Just as with rotation, a negative Skew value leans the
characters to the left, while positive leans them to the right.

Rotate

Rotate behaves identically to layer rotation. Adjusting the Rotate value
into the negatives will rotate the entire caption and all characters to the left.
Giving the caption a positive Rotate value will turn it to the right. Just as
with layers, you can adjust the rotation in the Preview by clicking and
dragging one of the anchor points located in the corners of the image.

Character Rotate
This is simply rotation for each character in the caption. Rather than the
entire caption rotating around, each character rotates in place. The value
ranges and directions of rotation are otherwise the same as other rotation
options.

Character Spacing

Character Spacing allows you to set the amount of blank space that
appears between each individual character in your caption. By default,
your caption will be set to 100%. Adjusting the value to the left will reduce
the space between characters, while adjusting it to the right will increase it.

This can be very useful when arranging a caption for artistic use in your
slide. In publishing, this adjustment is known as “kerning”.
