    Text Box

    Hi,

    On "New Text Box", I noticed I can only import a *.txt, from Note Pad.

    But I would like to have different font size within text, i.e., paragraph title with bigger font, and/or different color.

    Is there a way around this?

    Or is it possible to import a Word file?

    Thanks,

    Ronaldo

    The Text Box object doesn't support text markup.

    But, you could open an .rtf or .doc file externally in WordPad.

    Or convert it to HTML and open it in the user's default browser.

    (In version 4.0, you will be able to convert such text to HTML and display it in a Web Browser Object.)

    Or, you could use some old-school ASCII highlighting, like:

    I. Paragraph One
    ----------------

    This is paragraph one! (Isn't it nice?)

    II. Paragraph Two
    -----------------

    This is paragraph two! (It tries harder...)

    etc.
