PSP X2 - How can I get justified text into an image?

[Yukute]

Hello

There has to be a way to get justified text into PSP. I know PSP itself does not have that option.

I am creating some trifold brochures and need the text to be justified in certain areas.

Does anyone know of a way?

Thank you,
David

Do it manually.

I mean justified text is mostly done between words as opposed to characters, and it's simply about aligning each sentence with the left and right margins. However, since PSP does not use an actual textbox but instead just allows you to type text there are no margins for it to keep track of. So figure out your own margins, and when you've written your text, just add a few extra spaces in between words to get them to line up properly. You can also up the kerning on longer words, just highlight the word and increase the kerning a little, to give yourself more spacing. But kerning isn't as affected by justification as the spacing between words.

Set up you text in word or such then copy paste into psp

Tried that. PSP didn't recognize anything that was copied from Word.

Oh Yes It does. as a bad speller i often do it. I did ask for a spell checker back in psp7 days. You paste in to the text entry box where you would type

Trev,
The only thing that accomplishes is you get to spell check first. If he has to paste into the text entry box, the justification across the full page is still not solved.

The only real way to do it is to manually adjust the kerning and tracking, and add extra spaces, until it fits.
As you've found, PSP is an image editor and has no tools at all for paragraph text. It is really the wrong program to use for your purpose. A page based program like CorelDRAW, Scribus (which is free), Microsoft Publisher, or even a word processor, would be much better suited to the task.
