Image and text

[Nahshon Evren]

Hi,

I'm translating a long article on biochemistry for an environmental
group; there are several images in the txt graphs, that I've been able to
translate
since the 'edit picture' option is available - now I've come across others
where this option is not available, I guess this means that they are
imported images - does this mean that it's useless trying to find a means of
modifying the text (to translate it)
or is this possible ? 'Properties' is not available so I don't know the
origin of the
image ...

Thanks to all,

Nash

Yes, you should get a decent graphics program and work on them in that. But
this may also not be able to handle the text as a separate entity from the
rest of the picture...

Hi Cindy,

Do you have an example of a graphics programme in mind ?

Thanks for your help

With some skill and plenty of time, you could probably replace the text in
the image with PhotoShop.
With less skill you could place a text box over the image with the much
cheaper SnagIt (try the demo - www.techsmith.com).
You may even be able to put a text box over the offending text in Word and
fill it with your new text.
