    That will be really bad! By the way, I’m good at programming and don’t mind if the solution is a little complicate. But there better be a solution since I don’t want to do all this by hand.

    I can confirm that it can’t be done. In Excalibur, I have the “Quick Labels” tool. However, instead of creating text generated media, it actually creates IMAGES containing the text which I then resize and place appropriately.

    Thanks folks. At least I now don’t have to waste time searching for answers.
