could someone enlighten me about using Fontworks ? I would like to write a title with a funny contorted shape as is certainly possible with Fontworks. Unfortunately, the Help index of Writer doesn't even consider the word Fontworks ; it simply does not exist. So I studied a little with the more complete instructions for Writer (156 pages) and found the chapter. I tried to apply the twist to a simple word but after choosing the relevant form and pressed OK I got the word FONTWORKS twisted instead of my word. Has anybody an idea how to use this facility ? Thank you. BTW I use 2.4 French under W XP 2E.
You won't find "Fontworks" in the help text, since the facility is called "Fontwork", not "Fontworks". (At least, it is in the English version.) There is an entry under "Fontwork icons" in the English help text.
When you have your sample text object with the word "Fontwork", double-click it. Apart from the eight green handles, you will see a copy of the text - currently the word "Fontwork" - in normal text at the centre of the graphic. You can now edit this version to the text that you wish to see. You can also apply formatting to this text. Click outside the graphic to see the results of your changes.
I trust this helps. Brian Barker --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
