PSP Help

[Amy Eileen]

HI! Who here uses PSP? Stacey does. Fran, you do right? Anyone else? I would hate to annoy the same person over and over and over and over and over again with my silly questions. (Thanks Stacey!) I have installed PSP X2 on my laptop and am dedicated to learning how to use it. I have created 6 pages in it so far and everyone has had me pulling out my hair. I have a few quick questions of anyone is able to answer them for me.

The TYPE TOOL! Seriously, I can only make it type in a straight line and nothing else. How do I make paragraphs? Sounds easy but I cant figure it out. It will probably something stupid I am missing.

STROKE, how do you do it? All I want is a simple stroke on my photos. I actually opened my file in PS, put a stroke on it, saved it and went back to PSP.

ClIPPING MASKS, surely you can do this in PSP. I am ADDICTED to my clipping mask in PS. I need this. I just simply need it.

SO annoyed with the fact that I cant drag and drop. Whats up with that????

In PS I can CTRL Click on a layer in the palette to Select it, is there a way I can do this in PSP? To get the marching ants so I can delete/erase, etc.?

I think thats enough for now.. LOL Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I just feel horrible that I have the program and never learned how to use it. THANKS!
