Does anyone know if there is a specific order of things that have to be done or a trick to make this work. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it - client is waiting for graphic and I can't get anywhere. __________________ Cindy www.eoseasy.comThe Chrysalis Plan

Is your font large enough to actually SHOW UP on the layer? since Paint is new to you I recommend you start with a blank white page and try doing your text on that first just to make sure that it is working the way you think it should.. __________________ Lily Chambers, The Virtual Office Goddess, LLC Author "How to Do Your Own Small Business Bookkeeping"

If it still hadn't worked for you I was going to suggest you send it to me so I could figure out what it was doing. Glad you got it to behave! __________________ Lily Chambers, The Virtual Office Goddess, LLC Author "How to Do Your Own Small Business Bookkeeping"
