Install fonts?

I'm so glad you asked this question!!!! Cuz if you download too many fonts into your Windows font folder, Windows will have a period!!! lol.. What I do is make a seperate folder -- can be anywhere on your pc (except in your Windows System folder!), even on your Desktop, and when I want to use a certain font, all I do is locate the folder, open the font I want to use and then MINIMIZE, but do not close, that font.. When you you go to use your text tool, you will find it listed with all of the other fonts available.. When you're done using it, just close it out and you don't have to worry about Windows acting 'funny'.. lol.. Oh, and a little hint about finding your font in PSP... just type in the first few letters of the name of the font in the "text entry" dialog box in PSP and it will bring you right to it!!

Save my workspace?

When you save your workspace, you will be saving settings for your toolbar, palettes, also settings for your rulers and grids plus image information including image position in your workspace etc., so that you can return to your project at a later time. Go To >File > Workspace > Save. The standard "Save as" dialogue box will appear. It will ask you for a file location you wish to save your workspace to. Workspace will be saved in a .wsp format, so you need to give it a name eg: project2.wsp. Next time you open PSP go to File > Workspace > Load. The workspace will remember the locations of your graphics so it is important that you do not move them after saving the workspace.
