Create a text box on the drawing space.... Set the box big enough (at least the width of the page).... Set the font size in the box to something small.... Set the font to a fixed with font (courier new)... Copy your text (ASCII) pic using whatever method you like (from wherever).... ~~~HINT: make sure you copy a blank line before and after too~~~~ Return to the text box in the graphics editor (whatever one you like).... EVEN PAINT WORKS IF YOU ARE DESPERATE>>LOL Position the cursor at the start of the box, Press the space bar once and then press the end key, (this makes sure you are inside the font and size format), to be super sure press left arrow once too (sigh *shakes head*)..... Use to paste your text in the box.... Drag the corners to size your box...... Click outside the box to set it.... the file as a gif or whatever...... you can also apply effects after clicking outside the box.... Look, this may seem confusing and you might not get the idea right away, but it works and I use it play with the idea till you get it ok... If you are a graphics pro you'll see this right away, if not...practice *smile* ICQ#22448421 "Sascha" wrote in message news:B6CB377D.B7B6%psp@gmx.net...

Won't help since the file is big: the printed size will be 1 square meter at 12pt textsize... I really need hints on how to use Freehand (or Photoshop, or...) to import the ASCII-text properly! -Sascha
