text string

text string

(OP)
Not sure why this will not add the text string
hope someone can help

thanks

^C^C_dtext;MC;\0;68%%189;

RE: text string

rwbaker,

You want always the text 68½? IMHO, You cant put this string by "_dtext". I would use a block, which can be inserted and explode by a macro...

or:
^C^C_text;_MC;\1;0;68%%189;
Only "_text"

RE: text string

rwbaker,

Another thing to check is the text font. I have found that SOME text fonts will give you the desired text using %% and then a number (like 189). Others will not.

Also, it seems to me that DTEXT should provide the same result as TEXT would.

Hope this helps,
Paul

RE: text string

rwbaker,

Another couple of comments... In the string that you listed, you need an underscore (_) ahead of the MC to get the Middle Center justification. Also, the \0 is giving you a height of 0 - therefore, no text... Is that right?

Paul
