ENCORE CS3 78 User Guide A B C Comparison of flipping object horizontally and vertically A. Object as originally placed B. Flipped horizontally C. Flipped vertically 1 Open the menu containing the object you want to flip. 2 In the Menu Viewer or Layers panel, select the object (or objects) you want to flip. 3 Choose either Object > Flip Horizontal or Object > Flip Vertical. Adding text to menus About text in menus Encore lets you type text directly onto a menu. You can type text either horizontally or vertically, and either freely or constrained to a bounding box. In addition to providing standard control over the appearance of the type, Encore also lets you transform a text block as if it were an object. You can edit the text you add to a menu in either Encore or Photoshop. Any changes you make to the text in Photoshop appear in the Encore menu. The Tools panel contains two different text tools: the Horizontal Text tool and the Vertical Text tool . Using either tool, you can enter text either freely or within a bounding box. To enter text freely, you simply click where you want the text to begin. You control how the text wraps by using the Enter key. The text is not constrained. Typing text freely is convenient for quickly entering single words, such as on buttons. To enter text within a bounding box, you first drag the pointer to define the text block. When you type, the text wraps when it reaches the edge of the box. While you can continue to enter text when the type hits the bottom (or edge for vertical type), Encore displays only the text that fits in the box. The bounding box can be useful when trying to arrange type in a specific area of the menu. You can resize the bounding box, which causes the text to reflow, changing the line endings and possibly how many lines of text display. Comparison of entering text freely (left) or within bounding box (right) Note: Encore supports Text On A Path created in Photoshop, even though it does not provide the layout tools to create it from scratch. To exit text mode and commit the text changes, you can press the Esc key. (For more keyboard shortcuts, see "Using keyboard shortcuts" on page 181.)

About text in menus
Encore lets you type text directly onto a menu. You can type text either horizontally or vertically, and either freely or
constrained to a bounding box. In addition to providing standard control over the appearance of the type, Encore
also lets you transform a text block as if it were an object. You can edit the text you add to a menu in either Encore
or Photoshop. Any changes you make to the text in Photoshop appear in the Encore menu.
The Tools panel contains two different text tools: the Horizontal Text tool
and the Vertical Text tool
. Using
either tool, you can enter text either freely or within a bounding box.
To enter text freely, you simply click where you want the text to begin. You control how the text wraps by using the
Enter key. The text is not constrained. Typing text freely is convenient for quickly entering single words, such as on
buttons.
To enter text within a bounding box, you first drag the pointer to define the text block. When you type, the text wraps
when it reaches the edge of the box. While you can continue to enter text when the type hits the bottom (or edge for
vertical type), Encore displays only the text that fits in the box. The bounding box can be useful when trying to
arrange type in a specific area of the menu. You can resize the bounding box, which causes the text to reflow,
changing the line endings and possibly how many lines of text display.

Encore supports Text On A Path created in Photoshop, even though it does not provide the layout tools to create
it from scratch.
To exit text mode and commit the text changes, you can press the Esc key. (For more keyboard shortcuts, see “Using
