Help for a PSP newbie: text formatting

  • Follow


Hi everyone,

I have just acquired PSP8, and I can't seem to be able to do a simple thing:
writting text continuously within the boundaries (CD insert) of my image
dimensions. When I finish writting what I want to write, the line of text
goes *way* beyond the boundaries.

How can I have the text to "wrap" itself into the boundaries? I hope I will
not have to write the text line by line? Surely there must be another way...

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, you have to add the line breaks yourself.  This shouldn't be too hard if you watch the main
window while you're typing.

Illustrator does it easy.  You just make a box (in any shape) and the text
will be fit into the box.

Illustrator does all that for you... change the box size, and the text
reformats itself, change the size of the letters and the text will reformat
itself.  Change the space between the lines and the text will reformat
itself.  Change the space between the letters and the text will reformat
itself.

You really do need to get better software.

Brilliant, Holmes.  We can add line breaks ourselves and save $460.

They would, but they can't afford it!!!!!

:-)

But that's no reason to settle for 10th best!

:-)

PSP-8 reviews just keep getting worse.

:-)

Let me count, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.... same people that where here a year ago!

:-)

Boy, those PSP-8 customers are really rolling in!

:-)

Help fill our landfills and buy Sally & Ron's book, PSP-8 Zero to looser!
