It's your lucky day. Go to...Tools / Titles and Credits / choose where you want the title..."Title at the beginning" for example... Now click..."Change the title animation" and choose...Scroll Perspective... Now click...Edit the title text... Enter your text. Done - Add title to movie. -- J.

Anyway...when it maxes out...just create another one next to it. If the transition from one to another is not good...try dragging them slightly on top of each other. And you could try creating images with text... for example...you can copy / paste text into the freeware IrfanView and save it as a .bmp or .jpg image. Then import it into Movie Maker just like any other photo. IrfanView http://www.software.com/irfanview (get the plug-ins too) http://www.software.com/irfanview-plugin Good luck. -- J.
