I am trying to make a wedding program....I have the program all typed up in word with everything just how I want it. How can I paste this into PSE7 without loosing all my different fonts, tab settings, etc? When I copy and paste it mangles it:mad: In PSE I have the decorative part of the program....so I am trying to merge the two!

Thanks for any advice!

"copy" your text from your word document

Grab the text tool and drag out a text box - position your curor in the text box - click and "paste"

I doubt you can paste without a text box.

OOPS - didn't read your post correctly

I haven't found a way to keep the "goodies" when I paste - The text takes on the font that is chosen with the text tool.

Your only choice would be to save the text as a jpg - but then that puts a box of white around the text. And that also limits your ability to edit the text.

You could incorporate the white box as a decoratve item into the program?

I wonder if there is a way of saving the text as a png? But then, you still couldn't edit the text, either.

I make my word document in Times Roman and do all my decorative stuff after I paste the text into PSE. It's still worth it to create in Word because it's easier to read in Word - but ,,,

How about going the other way and inserting the images from Elements into the Word document?

Now, I remember - that is what I often do. LOL

Great tip.
