Question

Text options grayed out Elements 12

I have Premiere Elements 12, and I'm trying to distribute evenly 7 lines of text (each it's own asset), but when I highlight the text, all the options under Text are grayed out, except "Text" at the top. How do I get them to not be grayed out?

    I can't quite figure out your procedure.

    Can you post a screen shot?  How is the "text (each it's own asset)" created?

    Here's the screenshot. When I highlight the stack of text items on the right, the "Text" menu is grayed out

    I set up a stack of just two titles on my machine that is a few versions ahead of yours.  The simple answer is that you can only work with one title at a time.   On my machine, I can select a title, work on it and select another title for more work.  As soon as I select two titles, the entire tool set does more that gray out.  It disappears!
