How do you do it? Be nice to those among us who are technologically challenged please. XD

Much appreciated.

Write your speech in your typewriter software of choice. If you want to put it on the forum, copy and paste to your post entry. If you want to use it IG, print it, and just type it over in bite-size portions. If you make your speech up on the fly IG, you'll have make chat logs, there's a sticky about how that works.

I like to write my speeches in notepad or Microsoft Word.

Then I break them into shorter, managable chunks like this as Marfdasko said.

[points with a stubby finger for impact] Just like this.

Then use the Ctrl-V function while you highlight the text, alt-tab back into NWN, and finally click on your text bar with you mouse.

Hit Ctrl-C, and you will see your text appear. Make sure that there are no "boxes"...

... the square symbols that occasionally show up while during text copy-paste exchanges.

It is also easier to do this in windowed mode, just be sure to ALT + TAB back so you don't unintently click on your cure critical wounds potion or go running down the podium, screaming attack!

Empty all your quickslots and replace them with text macros. I recently learned that you can paste into the box so you can quickslot longer messages.

And it's not like you're going to need your weapons or potions of invisibility in the middle of a speech, right?

The boxes, for the record, are carriage returns. If you turn off line wrapping they shouldn't occur.

You'd be surprised.

Depends on who you are, where you are delivering it and what the speech is about.

How do you run EfU in windows mode? I don't think I am right now.

Alt+Tab seems to be very slow when I try to go from something like Explorer or IRC to EfU. Mebbe because I'm not in windows mode?

Garem's suggestion seems the most doable. I'll try it and let you guys know how it went.

Thanks for the input.

Open nwn.ini and change Fullscreen=1 to Fullscreen=0, and add the line AllowWindowedMode=1 underneath. When in window mode you will not be able to rotate the camera by moving the cursor towards the edge of the window.

As for the slow response with Alt+Tab, that may be a result of running NWN in a different resolution from the desktop.

Open Office is good of the completely free options.

When making speech in game, while using copy-paste..try not to paste too fast, so people can follow it. Pasting sentences in good pace (and size) that people can actually read it fluently is important.
