hi there,
i've been a happy user of qimage for several years. but every now and then i come across a challenge with this wonderful program.

i usually print some annotations on the back off my greeting cards. now a client allowed me to put a little text ad on the cards i print for him.

i would like to print a line "reproduction & print by..." in the floating text box but with a smaller font size than the client's annotations.

i have not found out yet, how to either put 2 floating boxes on one print page (which would also help with challenges like putting one line horizontal and the another one vertical)

or to have more than one font size within one floating box.

can anyone help?

kind regards, ralph from cologne, germany

Hi Ralph,

No, that is not possible, but the good news is:
Quote
put 2 floating boxes on one print page
is possible  Smiley
Just click the "A" for floating text again (and again), and create as many floating text items as you want.
See attached screen snap from the Full Page Editor as a sample.

.... and using Terry's method, you can also make a vertical line and a horizontal line of text.

Great tip.  Never occurred to me to create two text boxes.

Here's a slight variation: I've often wanted to do just one line of text in a smaller or different font, and now I see that I can, because you can overlap the two text boxes without any problem.

Just create the first block of floating text, leaving room at the appropriate place for the "special" line.  Then create the second text box with the special line and simply overlap the two boxes.  Slick.

But I agree with the OP that being able to use different fonts and/or font sizes in floating text would be a convenience.
