  Guys

  Can files saved in .doc format, say maps etc., not be imported to a timeline above the video?

  thanks

  Sorry but no.
  They must be converted to some type of image file.
  What I’ve done with Word documents in the past is to save them out as a PDF, import this into Photoshop and then save them out in PNG format.

  Thanks Mike

  Could I scan them, save as .jpg’s and import to vegas that way?

  I’ve tried scanning a document before and wasn’t very happy with the results.
  That’s why my suggestion to convert it to a PDF and then an image file.
  If you don’t have a copy of MS Word around, Open Office can do this.
  If you don’t have Photoshop, Gimp can do the PDF to image file conversion.
  Both these apps are open source (i.e. free).
