before I throw my monitor out the window...

Has anyone ever tried working with one large text string (no carriage returns) in Photoimpact? For example, create a new image and just hold down a key for a while. After a while (277 characters by my count but don't hold me to that) the characters just stop appearing. It looks like they're still being recorded but they don't show up on the screen.

I'm trying to add a long string of text around the outside of a circular CD label. I basically have one large text string (about 1,000 characters) and am planning on using the text bend #18 feature to make it circular. I typed the string into notepad and when I paste it into PhotoImpact the string stops after 277 characters and then oddly repeats itself. so frustrating.

Am I missing something here? thanks!
