# Setting text options in MenuBuilder

You can set some MenuBuilder text options when you create a text item using the MenuBuilder wizard. However, you can set more options after the text item is created.

#### To set text options:

1. Open the MenuBuilder project.

2. Double-click the text item to edit.

The Text Properties dialog box appears.

3. Adjust text options:

   Use the Style pop-up menu to select a text style. The listed styles are imported from the selected template. Select Custom to create a new style.

   Use the Font pop-up menu to select a font. Select size and style options as well.

   In the Text box, enter the text as it should appear in the project.

   Use the Link pop-up menu to select the type of link to activate. Click Browse to search for other choices (you can create links to almost any type of file). Then enter the appropriate text in the Link box. For example, if you select Web Address, enter the appropriate URL.

   When you link to a Captivate SWF file, MenuBuilder automatically creates a link to the related HTM file. Every Captivate SWF file requires an associated HTM file. This file contains information that is necessary for the Captivate SWF file to play correctly. If you want,click Save file with project tosave the linked HTM file with the Captivate SWF file. When you export the SWF file, the linked HTM file is also exported.

   If you create a link to a URL or HTM file, the Advanced Settings button is active. Click this button to set options for the browser window that contains the link.

   In the Tooltip box, enter rollover tooltip text.

   Click the color boxes next to Normal Color and Hover Color to select colors for each text state. (Hover color is the color that appears when the user rolls the mouse over the text.)

   If you want, click Apply changes to all items. This option applies the changes made in this dialog box to all similar items within the project.

4. Click Apply to view your changes without closing the dialog box, or click OK to accept changes and close the dialog box.
