Kostas, Usually, things goes the other way around : you insert the pictures in a text; this can be done using Word (for the ordinary joe) or using a publishing software like Page Maker, Indesign or Quark. PS is not very good with text, although it has improved with the successive versions. Up from version 6, things go better, since you can keep your text on a layer untill you have given it the characteristics you want. But PS isn't the suited software to include text. As for table, I've never tried. If you want to try, you can do things so : click on the text tool, just press any taste, for instance T.. Then copy your table and go to the text layer, click on it so that the dialogue box appear and try to paste your table. But I'm not sure whether you'll be able to get the columns correctly aligned.. If not, add as many subtables as you can and move their respective layers along to get things straight.. It will not be an easy work, since that is not really a task for PS IMO. > > 2. how do I correct the illustration photo effect, where the image appears > jagged or rasterized after scanning? (I am forgetting the proper term) It's called descreening and is better achieved at the scanner level using the descreening filters..

Alas, I didn't find a descreening filter in the last version of PS (7.0) I thought there was one in the preceding ones; however, There are two filters for creating "color halftones" or "halftones pattern", respectively located in the pixelate and the sketch groups. With some scanners, you can reopen the picture you have just scanned and apply some filters like descreeing; if you have that possibility, it would be better..
