Hi Sam - It is a bit of a tricky one is this.

Select the clip you want to add your title to.

Select 'Tools/ titles and credits'

Select 'Add title on the selected clip' (It's important to choose 'on the selected clip' or it won't work correctly)

Type your title in the box

Under 'more options' select 'Change the title animation'

Scroll down until you find 'newspaper'. It should be under 'titles, Two Lines'

Select newspaper, watch the prview in the window at the right

Click 'Done, add title to movie'

It should work correctly!

If he can't answer your question then no-one can!

It must be said, though, that WMM is not the best tool out there. Apparently CNET rated it 1 star out of 5 due to stability and response issues.

However, there are numerous free editing tools for video you might want to try:-

Jahshaka

T@B ZS4

Wax

Video Spin

Vivia

Avidemux

Blender

.. to name a few
