Subtitles of the Movie

Let's go ahead and experiment with borders and graphics. Here I am, I inserted a table. I can pull from one of the handles and move it and position it in the center of my screen. I can select the whole row, and of course merge the whole row. And it fuses the top row together. I think a title should go in here. Now, we're going to place some graphics on the screen. We'll choose our frame, and we could scale our frame down and place it in the cell. And if I move the table, you see the graphic doesn't move with the table in conjunction. What you need to do is cut it, and then paste it into a cell. And what this does is it makes the image a cell background. What we're going to do now - import our frame again, and import a photo to be placed behind the frame. Click Choose, and we'll choose the womanwithdog.png, scale it down, place it on top of the frame, send it to back, and of course adjust the photo to match the frame. Now, you can marquee the two, group the two graphics and of course go to Edit>Cut, select one of the cells, and Edit>Paste. And now you see according to the palette that it's pasted as a background. Now, import another graphic, scale this graphic to fill the cell. What would happen if I merged the cell next to it? What would happen with the graphic? Take a look at that. And I'll select my whole table, increase the borders. You could have no borders, or borders, and I could change the color - change it to blue. Or I can use the magnifying glass and pick a color from this image. I'm going to hold down Shift and select two cells. And let's see what happens when you decide to merge. As you see the image takes over. Hold down and Shift and select two cells, one with color, one without, merge, and you see the color takes over. I am going to select the two images, merge, and you see the photo takes over. You can control all the borders, or you could select multiple pieces of cell walls by holding Shift, and you could increase the thickness of your borders. ase the thickness of your borders.
