For this tutorial I used Paint Shop Pro 8
but the instructions would be very similar in any version
Open the letters that will make the name
you want in PSP Animation shop
You will have an eight frame animation to each letter like this
We now need to create a single name animation
With this single blank frame animation selected
Then use combination of shift + Ctrl + L
keys to copy 6 more times so
that you have an eight frame blank animation
Select frame one of first letter of name
( In my case D)
Select all frames in this animation by clicking
frame 1 and then using the shift and arrow right key
All frames will have a blue border
Click on frame one and drag and position frame 1 of your name
into frame 1 of blank animation,
as you release all the other frames will transfer.
Frame 1 only shown of 8 frame animation
Repeat this procedure with the other letters
and line up "by eye" each letter that you have dragged
in
You can try again if you do not like the
results by selecting your "blank" animation or letter
animation and clicking the undo 
button
Every so often test your animation
Once you have transferred all your letters
crop the animation by using this tool 
.
Left click on animation and with finger still down drag box
to size of animation you want and release.
Double click to crop
Test animation
Save your animation
- best image quality
- click the customize button and on the Partial transparency
tab use these details
Good luck with your animations
