4-4-1 Creating Frame Tab Names
The frame tab title is created using text objects. By creating text within frames, the tab titles that are not
active will be hidden when the PT is running. Therefore, create tab titles when operating in normal
screen editing mode.
Click the Text Button in the toolbar and paste the text. Position the text so that it overlaps the tab posi-
tion.
