Create a new image in Photoshop. or
Corel Draw......
Create a text box on the drawing
space....
Set the box big enough (at least the
width of the page)....
Set the font size in the box to
something small....
Set the font to a fixed with font
(courier new)...
Copy your text (ASCII) pic using
whatever method you like (from
wherever)....
~~~HINT: make sure you copy a blank line
before and after too~~~~
Return to the text box in the graphics
editor (whatever one you like)....
EVEN PAINT WORKS IF YOU ARE
DESPERATE>>LOL
Position the cursor at the start of the
box,
Press the space bar once and then press
the end key,
(this makes sure you are inside the font
and size format),
to be super sure press left arrow once
too (sigh *shakes head*).....
Use <ctrl-V> to paste your text in the
box....
Drag the corners to size your box......
Click outside the box to set it....
<Save Ast> the file as a gif or
whatever......
you can also apply effects after
clicking outside the box....
Look, this may seem confusing and you
might not get the idea right away,
but it works and I use it play with the
idea till you get it ok...
If you are a graphics pro you'll see
this right away, if not...practice

Hello,
I'm having a problem with my Ascii: I
converted some images with
Mephs Ascii Editor, which worked very
well.
I then tried to save or copy/paste the
resulting "text", but nothing
worked. Photoshop 5.5 crashes when
pasting, Freehand 9 splits or#
wraps the text, Quark 4 also wraps it.
The only programs that do it right are
Wordpad and IE 5.0, but they
won't help me, because I need to fit the
image to a certain size
and save it as JPEG.
Any advice how to get my ascii out of
the editor and into the above
software without trashing it is highly
appreachiated. Please.
-Sascha
