Text box with an effect, affecting the separarate text box below it.

[r_tist]

Hi,

Two text boxes...

There is a way to prevent the 2nd text box from receiving the "overspill" of an effect applied to the 1st. Can you please jog my memory how to do this?

Both text boxes have outer glow applied, but at different opacities, different spread %s. I need to prevent these text boxes from affecting each other. The outer glow is to help mask background info.

Thank you!

I think we need more info...

Among other things, is the text in the two frames threaded? Is the effect applied to the frame, or the text?

Can you provide screen shots of the two frames, please.

Not threaded. Two completely disconnected text frames. Effect applied to the txt frame.

Thanks.

Definitely need some screen shots, and maybe a sample file.
