<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The most reliable way of using images with text in them and keeping it clear this save it as a swf file. I tend to use open office Impress (free and runs from USB stick), set the page size to the rough size of
the image - maybe 3 cm times 3 cm), then I insert the image into impress, file, export,swf and then load the SWF into Xerte instead of a JPEG etc.</span></p>
