Hi Mike
Don't know if anyone else has had a need to do this but I recently did a show with some images and videos and the director suddenly came up with the question..." Can I have a line of text before each dance?" now of course this ment a dive into powerpoint and produce slides then save them all as pictures and then drop each one into a image file.
What are the chances of having a text/slide for maybe up to 100 characters which could be typed straight in with maybe 3 or 4 standard fonts and 3 or 4 sizes?
Or dare I say linked to 'Word' to use any fonts etc.

Re: Text Screen
Could be done and could also be overlaid over an image or a video (if using xVideo). Fonts are not normally a problem as a standard 'font requester' will list all the fonts registered in your Windows installation. But if you want any fancy formatting, drop-shadows, borders, etc you'd be better of creating jpg's from PowerPoint as you're doing now.

Hi Mike
Thanks for your reply.
I was just thinking on the lines of white text on black back ground, just a quick simple "title" is where i was coming from. Nothing fancy just good bold text.
