Hi,

Appreciate your help.

    Stella,
              I found the answer on sourcelink....

    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    1.  Add>Text
    2. On the Options tab, select the desired Class and set the subclass, size, etc..
    3. Pick the text location (Orientation of txt file is A1 block of the xls sheet).
    4. Right Mouse Click in the work area.
    5. Select Read From File.
    6. Browse to the file created from the xls File Save As and select it.

    The text will be present in the board file. If other graphics are needed, you will have
    to add them manually.
