IBMedia's answer should get you there. This example is based on one of the samples posted in the link. I adjusted the flexibility from 0 to 4 along with the position and jumble. I think if you play around with the values you should be able to get what you need. As usual, Bluff proves it can do just about anything - figuring out how is the key... and this is a simple effect. ;)

Many thanks Jim! I've downloaded that and will try it after breakfast. (Sunday 08:02 UK time here.)
BTW, I'm beginning to accumulate quite a few .bt (and media) files. For now I've been storing them in C:\Docs\BluffTitler\Shows. But I see that the provided shows are all in C:\Outerspace Software\BluffTitler\Media. Should I combine these? When I use File > Open Show, BT browses from C:\Outerspace Software\BluffTitler\Media\Shows, so I'm not sure of the recommended approach to this? Another factor is that I make nightly backups of C:\Docs, although I suppose I could also backup C:\Outerspace Software too.
Maybe the best idea would be to make that C:\Docs\Outerspace Software? Would that cause any problems?

I keep my shows in a separate folder in MyDocuments (which is on a separate hard drive from my boot SSD drive) but That's just so I don't fill up my SSD with data files. I think it's just a matter of personal organization. It certainly won't hurt if you just dump your in the same folder and the ones that come with bluff.

Thanks, I'll ponder on this a bit more before settling on a structure.
That FlyInText show of yours looks great, thank you. I'll come back to it in a few days (when I'm more comfortable with the basics) and use it as a basis for further work.

I think this is an area that you need to be careful with.
I asked Michiel about the FX files a while ago, because I was also trying to decide on how to organise myself.
All the examples shows just use whatever FX files were uploaded by the contributor.
So if you download a show that was created in 2006, then you migh talso be getting an FX file that was created in 2006, but might have been updated since - and maybe the current version being distributed by the Bluff Titler installation might be the updated version, so by using a show from 2006, you might overwrite a current FX file with an outdated FX file.
So, be very cautious about how you organise things.
I download all shows from the Gallery to a separate directory, and then just copy the .BT files to my working directory as I need them. If I find I am missing an FX file, then I go and get that from my download folder.
One thing that I'm not certain about though is if Michiel updates the FXs in the installation every time he issues an updated FX via a gallery show. Maybe he will comment on that for us.

@JimH
That's a really great example show. Very Useful.
Thanks.
