Posts: 20                Hello and Help,
I'm trying to take the text entered in a TextArea and draw it on a picture that 
was opened from a file using:
Code:  f=GetFolderItem("RentAgFront.tif")
  p=New Picture(1700, 2200, 32)
  p.HorizontalResolution=200
  p.VerticalResolution=200
 p=Picture.Open(f) 

I was able to draw text from TextFields using:
Code:  
  dim stsh As StringShape
  Dim d as New Group2D
    stsh.Text=TextField1.text
  stsh.x=1470
  stsh.y=970
  d.Append stsh
  p.Graphics.DrawObject d
  
It's possible for the user to type enough characters into the TextArea to go 
off the page, so I need to put a margin on the text when it draws on the 
picture. I tried this:
Code:dim stp As StyledTextPrinter
  stp = TextArea1.styledTextPrinter (p.graphics , 468)
  stp.DrawBlock 175, 650, 144
  


but it didn't show up on the picture.  How do I make the StyledTextPrinter go 
to the picture? Or is there another method for drawing text within a margin?
