On March 6, I asked about how to display different fonts on a web page. Well, how do you make text into a GIF file? I have been getting an error message while trying to install the trial version of Paint Shop Pro, so right now I have Microsoft Photo Editor; when I open it, I can't see any way to do anything with text. Please explain in plain English. Thank you.
 
Carole,

Sorry, can't help with PaintShopPro, but do you have Image
Composer (shipped with FP98 and 2000 Upgrade)?

You can do this with the tools that are already part of Windows.

Create your page or portion of the page with the font you want.
Then press the Print Screen button on your keyboard.
Then open Paint, click Edit, select Paste and an image of the page will appear
in Paint.
Then click the Cut icon ( little dotted rectangle ) and then click and drag your
mouse over the area you want to save.
When you have the area you want in the Cut box, click Edit and select Cut.
Then Click File > New, click No to not save changes, then click Edit > Paste and
the portion you edited will appear in Paint.
Then click File > Save As.. and save it to your desktop as a jpg file.

You can also do this with the free utility named IrfanView.
