Hello:
Just upgraded to 8 and am having difficulty with gettting the attributes in the Collections Menu to be applied to my own text that I create. If I create text, for example sake "Lori" and then try and drag the BOUNCE attributes from the Collections Menu to my text of Lori, instead of Lori taking on the attributes of the Bounce effect, I keep gettting a new word of BOUNCE that has it's own set of values. Even if I try to Edit the word Bounce in the workspace, the actual Bounce attributes then become grayed out. I've tried everything for the past two days, and just cannot get the attributes of any of the samples in the Collections Menu to be applied to my own text that I create. I read the online Help topics over and over, but all it says in the Colletions Help is to drag the preset to the timeline.
Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Lori J
