Ideally I'd like to be able to select a rounded, shadowed rectangle with the arrow appropriately positioned (top, bottom, left, right) and of adjustable length, insert the text (typically a single letter or number), and then be able to group these so that I could drag the callout into the required position. I might need to place 10 or 20 on each of several maps, so it needs to be very simple and fast.
I've never properly used 'Picture Tubes' although I have a feeling that would be one way to achieve this. But the images built in to PSP 8 do not include any callouts. Or possibly there is a script someone has already generously made widely accessible? Or maybe it's best done from first principles, making a set of shapes first and saving them (in empty form) as individual files, positioning them and then finally adding the letter/number separately? With that approach in mind I've actually been looking for an online source of such a set, so far without success.
All suggestions would be much appreciated pleaase.
