OCAD Writing Backwards

[mharky]

For some reason, my text symbol is writing backwards. Each new character appears to the left of the previous one!

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Type the letters in reverse order?

Font ?

If you have "David" as the font it goes backwards.
There may be others, but I have more interesting things to do
then test all on my system. Check that the font is a common one
(Arial, Tahoma or T.N.R) and try again.

Is there a button to press to reverse this in OCAD? What version are you using?

Drawing a Line Text Symbol

Line text symbols are used for text along curved lines. Line text can be written along any line, including curved lines. To draw a line text object you must define a line text symbol and do the following steps:

Select the line text symbol.
Draw a line in any drawing mode (curve, ellipse, circle etc.).
After terminating the line, an insertion line appears and you can directly type the text on the keyboard.
If the text goes in the wrong direction, click the Reverse Object icon in the Edit Functions toolbar.

Does this help ?
