Quick easy newbie question.....

How do I get numbering like the attached image using text in photoshop? I have photoshop elements 9. Basically I just want to be able to type out numbers within boxes, or some other solution that will give me this desired effect easily. Thanks.

Thanks this looks like its what I'm looking for...........but what do I do with it haha? sorry I'm really new tophotoshop and don't know a lot.

Extract "cd-nrs.TTF" to where ever you want, then right click it and chose "Install".

If that won't work for some reason, do this instead. Extract "cd-nrs.TTF" to C://Windows/Fonts

Ok so I installed the font, but when I try to use it in photoshop it switches to myriad pro. I also tried copying the numbers from the character map and that didn't work either. Any suggestions on how to get this to work within photoshop?

Try restart photoshop.

I restarted it. Pasting the charaacters from the character map just pastes "f" into photoshop in myriad pro font.

The font works fine in Microsoft Word, its just photoshop that's having the problems.....

Hmm sounds wierd, give me a second.

For some reason copying it from Microsoft Word to photoshop worked just fine but copying from the character map doesn't. Anyway, the problem is basically solved. Thanks for your help.
