Aligning Text Items
I want to be able to display a list of items, one at a time, but I’m having a dickens of a time getting the individual text items to line up along their left sides, despite my having left-aligned each of them individually as they were created.
Assuming each of the individual items is on its own track, is there any quick way to snap them all to a grid, or somehow force them to line up along their left edges?
Thanks!

This might not be the solution you need, but here are two techniques that have worked for me:
#1: Create the first text item, and then create each subsequent text item by copying & pasting from the original, and changing the text for each one. This way the settings of each text item are based on the first, and they should all line up.
#2: If you’ve already created each text item, and they’re not lining up, go into the settings for the firt one (assuming it’s lined up the way you want it), click the “Placement” tab, and look at the numbers in the X & Y box. Then go through the settings of each subsequent text item, and copy those X & Y settings so that each text item has them set the same. This could be pretty tedious if you have a lot of text items, but it should work.
