Spacing Titles
Is there a way to center AND a little more between the first and second heading? I'd like to match the original layout as much as possible.
Thanks for putting your thinking caps on. <3

That's good too. The space above the AND is 22pt and the space below the AND is 12pt. I was hoping to get them the same size; however, I'm not sure the software is that fine tuned yet.
Thanks for getting me to the bottom line, Jojo. I'll use your example. Just wanted to make sure we couldn't do better. Thanks again. You ROCK! <3

You can achieve what you want by splitting the text into Title (1), Text (2) and Subtitle (3):
Handling the "AND" as a separate text element allows you to move it vertically as you wish, between the Title and Subtitle. You can also adjust the Line Spacing property of the Subtitle, to bring the lines closer together, if you wish.

That is absolutely AWESOME, DanielR! Wow!
Where did you anchor the text? I used the first rest and moved it up; however, it leaves a huge gap between the title and the staff.
Will you share your Wizard Secrets? <3

DanielR, you have the most elegant solution; however, I don't know how to insert text into the header. I've deleted everything below the first title line. Would you share then next step? Everything I try makes a mess.
Thanks for your patient help. <3

Right-click within the frame (Ctrl-click on Mac). Choose "Add > Text" from the popup context menu.

No problem! Here are the steps:
1. Select the Vertical Frame, then right-click > Add > Title [you already did this step]
2. Select the Vertical Frame again, then right-click > Add > Text
3. Add the required text "AND"
4. Select the text, in the Inspector set "Centre text on reference point" (the middle one of the alignment icons)
5. Select the text, in the Inspector adjust the Y Offset value to bring the text downwards as needed
6. Select the Vertical Frame, then right-click > Add > Subtitle - add the text as required
7. Select Subtitle, in the Inspector adjust the Y Offset value to move the subtitle down as needed
8. Select Subtitle, in the Inspector set the font size to match the Title font
9. Select each of the Subtitle's "smaller text" elements in turn, adjust font size as needed in the text editing bar at bottom left of screen

Thank you, DanielR and jeetee. I had to tinker with it, but finally got it! Awesome!
I can't insert or edit text in the title frame if anything else is displayed. I have to insert a Vertical Frame, not use the one provided with the titles.
I can add all of the titling, but have to pull it all down below the Vertical Frame to add the text. I can adjust the text to where I want it, but have to keep all the titling out of the Vertical Frame. It's a by guess and by golly operation. ;)
I got there, improvising on your wonderful directions.
Thank you so much, DanielR and jeetee! You Rock! <3

"I can't insert or edit text in the title frame if anything else is displayed. I have to insert a Vertical Frame, not use the one provided with the titles."
It's quite confusing. Once the (original) vertical frame is selected, you can find yourself unable to edit an existing field within it (e.g. Title, Text or Subtitle). If so you first need to deselect the vertical frame, which you can do with the Esc key. You really do not need to add another vertical frame.

It worked once I deleted the original title vertical frame and inserted a new one. Technology is wonderful. I'm glad I can just putter around in it. As long as it works, I'm happy. Thanks again, DanielR. It is an elegant solution. Wizard Honors, Sir! Wizard Honors! <3
