Text in Print and Cut

Post by tinakatz1 »

Is there a way to copy and paste text into eCal? I want to be able to print and cut wedding invitations. I have the wording in a Word document and was hoping to just copy it in rather than typing in each line and worrying about spacing and center of each individual line. Hopefully this makes sense...

Any advice? Thanks

Here is something to try. A few steps...but save the Word document as a .pdf. If you have Adobe Photoshop, open in it and then crop out the area you don't want to use. Save as a .png. Then open the png in eCAL and do trace image.

Didn't try it as far as cutting, but it does get the Word over without having to retype.

It is possible someone else has another approach, but this is what I came up with and I don't usually do words this way so never really tried it.
