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

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.

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*)

Well done Mark! Mind you, in the end they will be more like mathmatical formulae than sculptures :-)
