Michele, select the dimension script, but don’t run it until you have selected the SOP. Which is the shift key, and F3. That will fetch up the choices. Once you have chosen, remember the number and run the script. I tend to write down the hex codes for the colours I want to use. I hope this helps. The other alternative is to use the block letter tutorial. (Creative Scrap) That way you can set the angle yourself. Of course that will take longer, and I know time is always of the essence for you. You can do a whole word, not just one letter at a time.
I don’t have the first dimensions script only dimensions 2 script, which I think gives you more choices.
