# Add lettering

Lettering is a special form of text element reserved for making bold titles and sound effects.

To add lettering to your page, do one of the following:

- Drag some lettering from your script.
- Drag a lettering element from the element well.
- Choose Insert > Lettering (from Insert menu at the top of your screen).

Unless your lettering came from the script it will automatically be ready to receive the text you want to type once it is added to the page. It will be given the default lettering style but you can easily change it by selecting a different style or choosing options in the Format sidebar.

Note: Lettering elements do not participate in spellcheck or find and replace.
