Hi,
I am trying to add text to photos in my slideshow on videowave in EMC 7. When I do, I first delete the words "Add your text here" and then type whatever I want in the box. When I return to the storyboard, my new words show up in the screen of the photo but so do the words I have deleted, "Add your text here." Any solutions? Shane

How are you deleting them? Backspace, highlight and delete or what?

Whichever one you used, try the other and see if that helps (also highlight and overwrite might work too)
If it ain't broke, fiddle with it until it breaks, then fiddle with it until you get it fixed

I had been backspacing. I will try your suggestions. But now I have noticed that "Put your text here" is on all photos and videos, even when I did not add text. For example, "Put your text here" is on the first photo even though I did not add text until several photos later. I really don't want to have to start all over since I have spent several hours on this. Any thoughts? I would be very grateful.

Open Timeline, and delete it from the text track.

If you want text to be with only one photo or image then put the text on the internal track for that photo/video. Then if you were to move the photo the text would move with it. Only put text on the main text track if you want the text to span over 2 or more photos.videos. You can adjust the length text displays by switching to the timeline, putting the mouse cursor over the right edge of the text (you should see a small icon with left& right arrows) and drag the right edge to the left. You can also reposition the text on the timeline.
