  • Text Style Sheets?

    Posted by Dick Smith on August 1, 2006 at 8:51 pm

    I am doing a job that has 90 Different Comps, basically a Super Powerpoint project..woot! Anywho, Is there a way that I can make a ‘style-sheet comp’ for my text, so that I can make changes in it, and it will ripple down to all the Text Layers that are linked to it? Any help is appreciated.

    No, alas:
    text is still one of the few things that cannot be influenced by expressions, scripts, etc.

    Perhaps prepare your text-assets in another app like Indesign, export to PDF and import the pdfs ?

    ugh, what i was afraid of….the closest i could get was to save each text layer as an individual Animation Preset (without animation, just highlight ‘Text Source’ option , then save) Doesnt solve my problem exactly, but leaves less room for human error.
