Re: Is There A Better Way To Do "Text Expand " Animation....? 2004-02-25 - By ccoles_avengers

Hello Doug,
Thanks for the tip about the "align:distribute" command.
Currently, I have the control I want and the look I want with the
method I have been using, it is just that it is painstakingly
time-consuming to set up and is VERY prohibitive if I am using more
than about two or three words.
I just looked up the "distribute" command in the book, but it doesn't
go into any detail on how to set it up. Would you mind sharing the
steps of your approach on how you would set something like this up
when using this command? I would truly appreciate it.
Thanks.
