| 379168 | 2005-08-07 20:47:00 | Hi Misty, you could try downloading something like paintshop pro (I think it's freeware, but have never used it and it will be a fairly big d/load) and it might be a bit of steep learning curve for a start. I'm happy to do the bubble/text for you, can even resize the pic to whatever size you need. Of course it's better if you can figure out how do it yourself, much more satisfying :) |

| 379169 | 2005-08-07 22:03:00 | If "Foxy MX" had suggested downloading "Powertoy" then I would be quite apprehensive about what might be the end product !! It does sound suggestive !! :blush: :lol: :lol: :lol: Anyway, my immediate problem is to produce a speech bubble and apart from the very kind offer by Shortcircuit to do it for me there is no solution as yet . Whilst I may take up the offer by Shortcircuit there is no solution better than doing it yourself I have Word '97 as well but it isn't installed on this PC at the moment . From memory I am fairly sure you could create some speech bubbles with Word's Drawing app . Go to Insert > Picture > Drawing and see if the toolbar that should pop up at the bottom of the window has any shapes under one of the menus . I don't think they are as fancy as Word XP's ones but you might be able to bully one into the right kind of shape . I'm trying really hard to remember exactly where I saw speech bubbles for dressing up photos without much success - I think it was in some kind of photo album organiser or something . I'll keep thinking and let you know if the old RAM bursts back into life with the answer . :p |

| 379170 | 2005-08-07 22:11:00 | hi Misty. I actually use Snagit 7 for all such work. Howeer, it costs a few dollars. Get a 30 day free trial from here. (www.techsmith.com) . I've used since it was about version 2 and it is the greatest screen capture and editing package out there at the dollar level. :nerd: | Scouse (83) | ||
| 379171 | 2005-08-07 22:18:00 | hello, the photo editor that will let you create a speech bubble with text is Microsoft picture it! either earlier versions or picture it 2000 will do the job nicely. cheers, Robby |

| 379172 | 2005-08-08 05:11:00 | Serif Photoplus (www.freeserifsoftware.com) has the ability to do speech balloons, haven't used photoplus but I have used other serif products and they were really good for free stuff. | Morgenmuffel (187) | ||
| 379173 | 2005-08-08 05:15:00 | It seemed that I could not do this through Windows Explorer or Paint...........paint:.........toolbar at top, image-stretch/skew | drcspy (146) | ||
| 379174 | 2005-08-08 05:22:00 | All depends how many you are intending to do, I just did this in paint (www.silvertech.co.nz). | Rob99 (151) | ||
