    Have your tried using the 'Create Job Sheet' under the toolpaths tab? Beyond that I'm not aware of any other method.

    This is how the job sheet is displayed, it is a html format and can be copied into a MSWORD or similar document.

    Not text, but you can just CTRL-PRNTSCRN then open MS Paint and paste, select that blurb box, and crop, and save it...

    Sorry for the confusion guys! I misread the question. I thought that he wanted to type the text on the model which could easily be done with the text vector tool! I'm for using shift prtscn and copy it into paint so it can at least be captured.
