Thanks for that link to zamar. I had a go with it but the end result wasn't too good. I'm sure it does a reasonable job in other situations but this left the text very ragged. I'm beginning to think that I am going to have to go with using .png but in comparison to .gif files they always seem to be ...

Pasting into notepad first did the trick.

Many thanks

I see that Inkscape can't save as .gif but can anyone reccommend a good way to convert the .png format to .gif? I have seen some command line, open-source options which I could probably get my head around but this isn't for me. I need to try to get a way for a blogger to convert .png images to .gif ...

If I copy some text in to inkscape from an email it seems to treat that portion of text as a group of objects with each line of text a seperate object.

Is it possible to copy and paste a paragraph of text and for Inkscape to treat it as one single object?

Thank you

Martin
