Hi, can you help anyone, I need to download or ??? some software that will enable me to type in a poem, which will graph it for me, I have tried to purchase the Pro software, but for some reason, maybe because I am in Australia, I cant get it downloaded.....Am on a tight frame so really need help, graphing so many words will take far too much time by hand..... anyone able to help...... please....

I have no idea why you would have trouble downloading the software from Australia. I suggest you try a different browser.

As for your project, I do not believe that an import is going to work at all for you.

Computers see things differently than we do. It sees your poem as just a series of pixels and converts each one as it sees it. The "edges" of each letter is not as crisp as you think! Also, it's been long shown that the best imports are tiny images so you convert one pixel to one stitch. With text, you're going to lose a lot.

I think a better choice would be "stitched fonts". Just select the font of the text you want and "type" in your poem. You're not creating each letter, just using the "font" you have selected.
