Footer

By default, the program uses “Created with Timeline Maker Pro v3. Produced on [today’s date].” You can modify the text, or choose to remove the footer completely from your timeline chart. The footer bar can be resized and moved to any position along the bottom of the timeline chart. You can also customize the font, shape, fill, outline and effects. For detailed instructions on customizing the footer, see also: Customizing the Footer.
