Hi Andrew, Easiest way: Open the SVG in Inkscape. In the dropdown on the layers toolbar, select: "OpenOffice.org 2.0" . (Bottom of the Inkscape window with a lock icon and an Eye icon next to it) Select "Rectangles" tool (Just below zoom tool in the tools toolbar) (or hit F4) Click on the 0 in 2.0. (A dotted outline will appear around the zero) Hit delete Click on the 2 in 2. Do ctrl-c (Copy) then Paste Select the "Select - transform tool" (or hit F1) Position the new "2" to give you 2.2 To add your label: Go Layer>add layer Give the layer a name Select "Text" tool, (or hit F8) Select font and size (eg Bitsteam Vera Sans 36) click where you want it and type it in. Position as required with Select & Transform tool. Select the square around the CD image (So the Wire Gulls part that is outside the disc image is not selected) Go File > Export Bitmap Under "Export Area", Click the "Selection" tab. Click Browse, Give it a name.png Export! Presto you have PNG file Cheers GL -- "GET LEGAL - GET OPENOFFICE.ORG" http://why.openoffice.org ISO 26300 compliant Graham Lauder, OpenOffice.org MarCon (Marketing Contact) NZ http://marketing.openoffice.org/contacts.html INGOTs Assessor Trainer (International Grades in Office Technologies) www.theingots.org.nz --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
