Title HELP!! Against Deadline
I’m trying to use adobe premiere to scroll a 6 column 1438 line word document. The document are race results from a local marathona and the columns have info such as time, name, place, and so on. I’m havning trouble keeping the alignmnet and the tab spacing is really wide once I copy and past from word/excel to premiere.
What I though might work would be if I could make one long PDF file without pages breaks and then animate that, but I can’t figure out how to do that, instead I get 45 seperate pages. Any ideas? Thanks!

How exactly are you having trouble with alignment? Are the tabs not being read?

The trouble comes when the “tab stops” created in word don’t translate into premiere. Premiere just sees the tab without stops, so I get these big gaps between the columns when I copy and paste. Only solution I’ve found is to use Courier font on a flat-text document and stretch the aspect ratio and width. But Courier is pretty skiny for video, even at 12pt I’m barley just fitting title safe.

Typically I’ve found it most effective to go back and make three word docs, one each with a column on it. Then you paste as three text objects and line them up.
That’s about the best solution I can think of for a short turnaround…

Good suggestion. A few more steps but I can see that working as a 2nd option. Thanks.
