Layer Settings
For the most part, Text Layers can use just about every feature you'll find
under this tab. The Layer Setup options for Zoom, Scaling, Position and
Aspect Ratio are the same tools you use for images or video. You can also
add Notes and Rename a Text Layer.

Keep in mind; if you Rename a Text Layer, you are NOT changing the text.
You are simply changing the name of the layer as it appears in the Layers
List and Selected Layer pane.

Going back to the container/box concept -the Rename option basically
changes the label on the outside of the box, not the contents.

In the Layer Type pane you'll begin to see why Text Layers can be
considered a hybrid between captions and layers:
• Text Layers can be used as Mask or Adjustment layers -
something a normal caption cannot do.
• Text Layers can be replaceable or non-replaceable when used to
create a Slide Style or Template -just like normal layer.
Masks, Adjustment layers, Slide Styles and Templates are all covered in
detail in later chapters.

Text Settings
The options you'll find here are just like the options found under the
Caption Settings tab when working with a caption. This is one of the places
you'll go to control "what's inside the box".
