Now you will see another window..

The tabs go ..

Text, Effect, Frame Control, Neon

Now under the text tab. There is a drop down menu to select the font that you want to use. I used the one enclose in the supply folder, and I wrote:

Captain

Jack

Sparrow

And my color I used is white, the size that I used was. 40

Now position the text.. to do this all you need to do is put your cursor over the text, when it turns into a black pointer it is over the text. And just left click and move it. Where you place it is where it will drop to.
