How to Avoid Always Reformatting Subtitles Text Boxes?

acosean

I'm using VideoPad and always have to copy and paste the subtitles text box (from my Word document containing the video scripts). Though I've always been presetting the text box to be formatted with font size 6, white font with black perimeter of medium thickness, the problem is whenever I copy and paste a good subtitle text box, when pasting the next new text from Word, all the font memory is always gone - meaning I always have to resort to (one by one) changing its font size back to 6 again, and the font colour, perimeter thickness, etc. which is rather repetitive and onerous. Anyone has any tips to circumvent this?

When pasting here the outline and shadow do not change.

The font, its size and color track the parameters copied from .doc file.

i.e.: If the text box is initially set to size 16 with black Segue font, it becomes size 8 white Comic Sans font - as composed in, and pasted from the .doc file.

So, try creating your .doc files with the desired font, color and size, then copying and pasting, to see if that makes things easier.
