Running PCS Pro 9.00.016 on Vista 32.

Is there some magic incantation that results in backstitches within a text block? I've tried the auto-backstitch tool and just plain-old backstitching ... to no avail.

Thanks, again, Dragonlair. I didn't notice the "merge to background" option, nor did I understand its importance.

It does, Cindy. What you have to do is merge it into the background while you're still in text mode. The text is considered an "object", not a bunch of stitches. Once it's in the background, it is just a bunch of stitches and auto-backstitch works!

There is no such thing as a stupid question

You're right, as usual. Plain-old backstitching works, but it would sure be nice if the auto-backstitch tool did too!

Thanks.

You have to come OUT of text mode (to backstitch mode) and it works. I just did a test. I also have Vista 32 and PCS 9.00.16. My Vista is Ultimate SP2.
