Word-sculpture
I love fey_mouse's word-sculptures and I would like to try some myself but I cannot visualise how my stuff will appear on ABC.
What's the secret Fey?
Best regards Mykle.
You're far too modest Fey!
Since nobody has responded perhaps I'm wrong. I thought fey_mouse deliberately chose the length and spacing of each line in a piece to create a sculpture like effect...
I tried to do this also in word, but this didn't work cos I copy ans paste it all.
Mighbe it works if you transphere it in a diverend way.
Good luck.
I'm not one for specific word layout, but when I've tried it on ABC it never seems to work.
Mark
It will work if you type for each space you want
Cheers
Emily
type what??
Mark
& n b s p ;
without the spaces.
eh?
ah, thanks, I get it
another question on this subject, if I use a file rather than cut and paste into the box, can I write in HTML?
Mark
yes, you can use basic html - I'll us () instead of <> to demonstrate
(p) (/p)
(i)(/i)
(b)(/b)
(br)
(li)
should all work.
But please don't use (img), font changes or anything else like that!
Robert, this is what I mean
If you wanted to
have a poem that you wanted to have holes in
or wanted it to start later in a line
then you would use the command above to create it.
And because html commands don't show up in the forums, here is what that looks like in code - I've just added spaces in between the letters so it will display
If you wanted to
have a poem that & n b s p ; & n b s p ; & n b s p ; & n b s p ; & n b s p ; you wanted & n b s p ; & n b s p ; to & n b s p; have holes in
& n b s p ; & n b s p ; & n b s p ; & n b s p ; & n b s p ; or wanted it to start later in a line
then you would use the command above to create it.
*runs screaming from site*
Come on Liana it's easy, for a space you use & n b s p ; and for a quote you use & q u o t ; and for an ampersand you use & a m p ; and for a less than you use & l t ; and for a greater than you use & g t ; and for a ™ you use & t r a d e ; and for a .......
(*and the screams echo on until the end of time*)
and I assume if all that works then so will this ?
Well done Mark!
Mind you, in the end they will be more like mathmatical formulae than sculptures :-)
ooh mark you are so clever
and heres me, a total tech dunce
*sigh*
it's easy when you dig out the book and have it to hand
Mykle, am SO SORRY, have only just read your post
am not sure what you mean though? whatever it was, if it struck you as clever I can assure you it was by accident :0)
but thankyou, anyway :0)
