HOW DO I ADD A CAPTION UPON A JPG PHOTOFILE (VARIOUS FONTS, COLOR, POSITION)?
Gerald,,
As Mac said you can either use the Text Tool and type directly onto the photograph or you can use Image>Resize>Canvas Size to add a border to your photo … you will then be able to use the Text tool to add type in the border…
Try it out but if you have problems then just ask more questions … but please take off your Caps Lock before you type (Typing everything in Capitals is considered to be sort of like shouting) 🙂

Hi, to all!
Is your proposed solution a work around a PE2 problem with the ‘Adding file information’ function? I can enter the file info into the dialog box but it does not appear in print-preview or in a hard copy printout even though I have clicked on CAPTION.
Works for me.
It only prints the part in the General/Caption field.
Note that if your pic is already at the limit of your paper size, there of course isn’t room for it; it will not size the pic down to make room for the caption.

I mis-understood the ‘adding file info’ function. I thought it would print everything entered into the File Info dialogue box.
Thanks
