Scrolling settings
Scrolling speed controls the duration (in seconds) for one complete cycle of text.
Scrolling direction allows you to control the direction in which the text would scroll from and towards. By default, this is set from Left to right.
Pause scrolling on hover allows your customers to stop the scrolling animation momentarily. Removing their cursor from the section would resume the animation. Disabling this feature means that the scrolling text animation will be uninterrupted.

Use the Top margin and Bottom margin sliders to increase or decrease the margins of the section.

Text block
Include text by adding copy to the Text field. Then use the Bold, Italic, and Link controls to style and connect your text with other pages.
Font settings
Choose between Heading and Body to assign a font style to your scrolling text. To assign a specific font style for these, you can go to your Typography settings.
