Mike, Thanks for you help. Would you mind being more specific for me.

So I select a button on the scene selection page, go to the Properties box, scroll down to -Button Properties, 3rd topic down is Highlight, down to Style. My dropdown list has Rectangle, Mask Overlay, Text Rectangle, Image Rectangle, Text Mask Overlay, Underline and Custom. All overlap the adjacent buttons when selecting a single button. I have no 'button mask'. What am I missing ? Thanks again . John

Hi,

Sorry, I wasn't at a computer with DVDA-2 install so my instructions wasn't specific. Select Button Property -> Hightllight -> Style (drop down list box), select "Image Mask Overlay".

Cheer.

John, just a hunch, but I suspect that the object size of your button is bigger than it needs to be. Some of the highlight styles cover not just the button itself, but rather the entire space encompassing the "object" that holds it.

If you click on one of the buttons (while you're editing the menu) causing the problem, make sure the sizing tool is activated (left side of the screen, there are two toolbar buttons at the top an arrow and a square with arrows and dots around it -- click the one with the square). Now, the menu button should have a white box around it. Is that box overlapping the other buttons? If so, you need to either resize it (click and drag the "handles" on the white box) or move it (click and drag inside the box) until it doesn't overlap them anymore.

Hope this helps.
Rob

Your suggestion led me to notice the text box was Super Sized and covered the adjacent buttons. Under Button Properties I have button style set to -Text and Image. This seems to control the boundaries box size as a funtion of text size and the number of characters. I redid each text box X-Y size to match the image size and each fits fine now. The automatic reverting to Auto in the font size drop down is a real pain. Can this be turned off? Thanks for all your help on this should be easier issue. John

Sadly, no. Best process is just to edit and align all your text the way you want it and then select all of it at once (Ctrl-click each item or do a rectangle selecition of them) and set your font the way you want. That way you will, hopefully, not have to do anything that will trigger DVDA into auto-sizing the fonts.

I don't know, maybe there's a way to turn off auto-sizing, but it's not an obvious one 'cause I haven't found it.
