help needed please
I am possibly asking the most basic of questions, but I just cannot get my head around how to save a .doc (in Word) as another format which can be opened in photoshop for printing.
I have 3 line drawings which need to go onto boards, struggled for much of yesterday, but cannot import or export, now in a right old muddle!
Please can someone point me in the right direction
Thanks
Lorraine

don’t you convert it to a wordart file, then import it?
don’t use a lot of word, but that is what I had to do with a file dsent to be in japanese. might be the same thing 😮

How about copy and pasting into photoshop?

Quick replies guy’s, thanks, I will try both of these and let you know.

I just tried it, convert it to wordart, then you can copy and paste it without losing any attributes (I did it with corel not photoshop)

quote Dave Rowland:sorry shane,.. i should said here… I use Adobe Acrobat to convert files to PDF and then read into Adobe/Corel programI have a small program called Cute PDF writer it installs like a printer option and you select to save as a pdf from any program at all. I use it in Signlab to send pdfs to one of my customers. It’s simple and very quick.
Quite handy to have. -
Yep, CutePDF is another one, same as Acrobat PRo

Really looking daft now, but how do you convert to Wordart? I’ve tried, but haven’t a clue.Dave
Thanks, copied & pasted into Signlab, promptly crashed.
Copied & pasted into Corel 12, saved as CDR & AI files, but terribly slow, eventually crashed on the last one when trying to resize. (the drawings are very complicated). I hate Corel, coz I’ve never had any teaching on it, it just seems to be beyond me, but I love using Signlab.Marcella
I’m going to look at both your and Dave’s suggestions for the file converters-exporting from Signlab is a right performance! Do you buy the programs, or are they downloadable, or what?Cheers all.

Lorraine,
CutePDF writer is a free download. You can download it at http://www.cutepdf.com it makes short work of exporting from Signlab. I used to export as an ai, import into Corel then save as a jpeg for customers to view. Instead I just save as a pdf direct from Signlab with this program. The image isn’t sharp like a jpeg, but it does the job.

Lorraine,
Hightlight your text in Word. Pull down the insert tab and you’ll see ‘picture. When you click on that, wordart will come up as one of the options.
Click wordart and you highlighted text will be the default. Press the first choice which should be an outline.
Onnce the text is converted, cut and paste to whatever, and then re-combine it to a solid font again.
It will not be text but a ‘drawing of the text.
Hope that helps.
Now, I’m off to bed
Cheers
Shane
