[. . . ] To enter text within a bounding box, you first drag the pointer to define the text block. While you can continue to enter text when the type hits the bottom (or edge for vertical type), Adobe Encore DVD displays only the text that fits in the box. The bounding box can be useful when trying to arrange type in a specific area of the menu. You can resize the bounding box, which causes the text to reflow, changing the line endings and possibly how many lines of text display.
