Does anyone know if there’s a simple way to create text where each letter has a different color.

It’s not something I’d probably use often, but I just created a long series of labels for DVD’s each whith a different name. The title was colorful cartoonish text with each character a different color and I was trying to match individual’s names to the font. Re-coloring each letter individually is a bit tedious.

Thanks

Brad

Select the character(s), change the colour in the Character palette. Must use the text tool.

Yeah, the gradient method was the way I went, – just wasn’t worth the time to go letter by letter, – A couple hundred names averaging 20 characters per name.

I was just thinking that it would be nice to have a plug-in font where you could input your color choices and frequency (maybe random) and just type.

Wishful thinking I guess.

Yeah, got to look into scripting.

Just doesn’t seem to be time in the day. Hoping somebody had done it for me already.

In the middle of learning Visual Basic to transfer my years of business programing for the old dos Rbase 5000 to Excel. (I made a database work like a speadsheet, now I’m making a spreadsheet work like a database, – dumb.)

These old bones, etc., etc., whine, snivel.

Thanks, forgot about that.

Just went there. Some neat stuff. Unfortunately, thousands of entries and search not too helpful.

Will page through it though.
