Note
When you enter a playback rate for a roll effect, FXDeko
displays any suggested adjustments in a dialog box. You can
choose to decrease or increase duration of the roll or original
line spacing of the graphic. Line spacing adjustments are not
offered when they would not be effective, e.g. if the document is
non-scrollable or if you choose a page-per-second rate.
