Windows movie maker - titles problem

I'm a bit of a technophobe but have finally attempted to edit camcorder footage of our Disney holiday using windows movie maker, and saving it as a projectas I went along. All was going well, and I had added titles to clips, in the storyboard view, putting them in separate cells before the relevent clip. In 2 cases I wanted the tiltes to appear in the clip rather than before it, which seemed to work OK until I viewed it today, and they are in completely the wrong place.

Using the Help topics I managed to remove one of the titles from the incorrect clip, and put it where I wanted it but I can't figure out how to do the other one.

It is the "sports scoreboard" title overlay. To remove it "Help" says to use the timeline view and just cut it out. However, the title only appears when you view the movie, it isn't visible in the title overlay strand at the bottom of the timeline. I have tried removing the whole clip, and then putting it back in, but this hasn't worked. The title still appears when the movie is played, yet it doesn't appear when the same clip is viewed staight from the collections folder.

So, my question is: how do I isolate the title so I can remove it if I can't find it?

Please help. I thought I was nearly finished with this project. I wanted to let my daughter see it on her birthday (Sunday). If anyone does know how to help please make your instuctions clear enough for a frazzled mother who is about 80% computer illiterate.

Thanks for reading this far.
