    Default How To Fill Text With an Image

    Can anyone tell me how to create text filled with an image?

    For instance I would like to create some text filled with the US flag.

    Appreciate any help.

    Many thanks

    Hi George,

    1. import the bitmap of the flag onto your page (either Drag and Drop from an explorer window or file import ) then either pull it off to the side or if you wish you can delete it from the page and the program will retain it in memory as long as it remains open.
    2. make sure your text is selected and go to the fill tool (the little paint pot) and from the fill type dropdown list choose bit map, and further along on the info bar you will see a bitmap name box filled with a default grey striped image, click the little arrow next to this to get a dropdown list that shows every bitmap in the the memory and choose your flag image to fill your text.
