You may have discovered how easy it is to add a few words to your photo using Picasa 3’s Text tool. But, did you know you can write complete paragraphs?
You need to know that the text will not wordwrap, so you must end each line with Enter. It also helps to have a solid background for the paragraph. But, notice that you can control both the fill color and the outline color of the text. If you play around with making the fill a light color and the outline dark (or vice versa depending on your background), you can usually make the text pretty readable.

Liked your hint on the paragraph printing today. I always mix up the outline color and the fill color and have to try them to get it right.
F week or so ago I gave your web site to a man here in Sun City. He is is gradually picking up on Picasa. He couldn’t find the JOIN button but I think we steered him in the right direction. He did say he had trouble printing some of your pages but I have not checked it out yet. If there REALLY is a problem, I will let you know.
