I've done quite a bit of video editing and all i can tell you is that I have always used Adobe After Effects to create scrolling text. I am not familiar with Premiere as I generally use Final Cut Pro on a Mac or an AVID suite when I can get access to one.

I f you can afford it, and plan to do a decent bit of editing I would pick up After Effects as it is a really powerful tool for creating all sorts of effects for video.

Yea, I would do a little bit of searching through google and even the help file, if you can, after effects, as said, is probably a better way to go here for you.

EDIT: After 10 seconds of google search, and straight from adobe's webpage... http://www.adobe.com/ap/motion/tips/pre65tdsn/

And even if it is for an older version of premier, should be able to be applied directly to CS3 (with perhaps some slight hunting for the same items in your toolbars)

It's been awhile since I've done it so I don't know offhand, but you might have more success with searching for tutorials on how to do Star Wars scrolling text, since there is a big scene for "underground" Star Wars shorts. Just skip the part about angling/warping the text.
