# Using Text Setup Files

A text setup file can be referenced in the Subtitle XML file. The text setup file overrides the font style and position parameters indicated in the current <title> element.

Using a text setup file allows you to easily apply your preferred setups to any Subtitle XML file.

To create a text setup file:

1. In the Text module, create a text setup.
2. Click Save.
3. In the Save menu, select Text from the Save box.
4. Choose the directory into which you want to save the file.
5. Type a name for the file and press Enter or click the Save button.

   The file is saved and you return to the Text menu.

To associate a text setup file with a Subtitle XML file:

1. Open a Subtitle XML file in a text editor.
2. Within each <title> element, indicate the path to the text setup file in the <setup> element. See Editing Subtitle XML Files and Title Elements.

   The parameters in the text setup file override the following text parameters within the <title> element of the Subtitle XML file: font, size, font colour, vertical, and horizontal.
