Excellent. I appreciate how Ms. Day has taken the time to research this subject. Seeing articles like this reminds and helps me to “think different”. Thanks.

I needed some brochures for my promotional product business. I’ve used the Aladdin theme and your Aladdin’s lamp was the perfect mask for me. I’ve also incorporated it into my new brochures, being printed as we speak!

How do you get a two word phrase like Little girls to appear together and not as two separate words in random places? Thanks

Roberta,
Try placing a tilde character (~) between the words like so: little~girls

Thank you. I had forgotten about that tiny funny key.

My problem: I have my portrait & my “wordle” both open in the project bin. Whnever I try to drag my “sordle” onto my portrait, the wordle is many times bigger than the portrait. I want the wordle to fit into the upper left of my portrait & I don’t know what to do to ger the wordle smaller before dragging it into my portrait. Any help will be appreciated.

Try this. After dragging and dropping the wordle onto your portrait, with the wordle layer active, press Ctrl-0 (zero) and then press Ctrl-T (free transform). This should zoom out of the image far enough for you to see the bounding box handles around the wordle. Now point to one corner of the bounding box and when you see the double arrow drag inward until the wordle is small enough to fit where you want to place it. Then point to the center of the wordle and drag it around on the image to where you want it placed. When you get it resized and repositioned as you want it, click the green checkmark, or just press Enter.
