Hi, I just got my program so I can make a memory cd for my class reunion. What I wanted to do was at the end have a text page of biographys. I am not seeing anywhere that I can do that. Am I missing something? I have the Picturepro Suite 3. If I upgraded would I be able to do this?

I'm not sure about the capability of the 3D album programs to do this but there are a couple of alternate ways it can be done.

1. Many photo editing programs include the ability to add text. Perhaps you could create a blank for faded background and then use the text tool to type in what you want. Save it as a jpg or png and insert it as a photo.

2. Microsoft's notepad or wordpad can be used to type what you want and then printed to paper. If you or a friend have a scanner, this could be scanned in and saved as photo. Then insert it into your album.

Just a couple of ideas. Not sure if it helps.

If your version of 3D-Album contains EDIT, then you can use your 3D-Album software to create the text jpeg that RSnow mentioned.

Click on EDIT, look for the new document icon and click on it, enter your options, then look for the Insert or Edit Text icon and click on it. Use your mouse to define a text entry box (click on the blank image and drag your mouse down and to the right), and enter your text. Finally, save your new image which will be made up of text on a background.

Of course, if you already have a photo editor that you're familiar with, you'll want to just use it.
