Importing text

[Peter Normington]

convert to lines
or send the font

[Harry Cleary]

Sorry Peter wasn’t clear there, what I want to do is import text into a text frame for a brouchre. Just wondering if there is a ‘correct’ way to do the original document.

I would suggest printing the original file to pdf.

[Karl Williams]

Export to PDF for document distribution. Convert all text to paths.

Am I missing something here?

What’s wrong with cut and paste (?)

I assume you are going from one site to another? If it is just text ie it doesn’t matter about font then rtf – doc – text file, you can import these directly into Draw. If you want to retain the font shape, you can do this but you will lose the option of editing the text. Export/save as pdf/AI or eps and import into Draw selecting text as curves in the dialog box.
