Alex Key Master	Hello Jana, In Layout section there is "Words amount" parameter that controls the amount of words to be placed. By default it is auto which means as many word will be placed as it is needed to fill the selected shape. You can manually adjust it to any number you want.

xpreciousp Member	I'm having the same problem Alex. Mine was set to the default auto and after I saved it, I could no longer add words. I also tried to manually adjust to 100 words, which is many more words than I would need, but still didn't make a difference.

Alex Key Master	@xpreciousp, I could no longer add words Could you please elaborate where exactly you couldn't add words. Was it Words section or you couldn't add words in Layout section (e.g. couldn't make more duplicates)?

xpreciousp Member	Hi Alex, In the Words section. I have my cloud laid out exactly as I want it to be. Then I added 2 more words to the Word section but the only way they will show up is if I then hit "Visualize", which then changes the entire look to my cloud. I don't want it to change, I love it just how it is, other than I want those two extra words to be included.

Alex Key Master	You can't do it in Tagul. The only option I see is to export your word cloud in SVG / EPS format, then open it in Inkscape and add your words.

xpreciousp Member	Once you create your cloud, you cannot add more words to it?

Alex Key Master	You can add more words in Words table but you need to visualize your word cloud again after adding words to make them appear. Edited 01 Feb, 2016 15:38

xpreciousp Member	I understand that but I just wish I could preserve the layout that I like after adding additional words. Thanks Alex

Alex Key Master	xpreciousp, if you wish to preserve the layout then there would be no room to add new words. But here is what you can try: 1) Switch to Edit Mode and click (select) the words that are bones of your layout and that you don't want to be moved or modified. 2) Add new words in Words section 3) Visualize your cloud. Then the words you selected in Edit Mode will be kept as is thus preserving the bone of your layout and the new words will be added. Edited 03 Feb, 2016 07:08
