importing text question

I have to make a retirement plaque and itcontains only words but lots of them.

the font is not fancy and probably just block letters of varying sizes.

someone has already made the sample file for me in wordpad or a similar program.

can I import this right into mc for engraving or am I going to have to rewrite the entire thing?

I know I could use the raster to vector converter but I need the letters "crisper" than I would get by using the converter.

thanks,  mark

Yes. Underneath the area where you type your text, click "Load File" and then select your pre-typed text file.

thanks I never knew that!

this also has barcodes on it.not too hard to reproduce but tedious none the less.

is there a way of bringing the whole page in as a pdf?

You might have access to the Raster to Vector user app on your system (go to Run Add-In on the Home menu and find Rast2Vec.dll).  If you can find a way of exporting from Word as a TIFF, BMP or JPG (Tiff preferred for best quality) then you should be able to import that into Mastercam.
