Click on the font tool (button with an A on it). Click in the image area. A
text box will appear. You should also see the appearance of the text
toolbar. If not, click on View> Text Toolbar. The first section of the
toolbar is a drop downlist of installed fonts. If you are not seeing this,
be sure you have a default printer designated. If no printer is attached to
this system, use Control Panel> Printers and Fax to install a generic text
printer and set it as the default.

Oh I am embarrassed! My text-toolbar was not checked to view!

No problem, Rick. It's those little things that tend to trip *all of us* up
the worse ("been there, done that" in one way or another). One of the
reasons for these newsgroups is that we all help each other along. Glad to
have helped.

Take care,
