Dear Christina, 
 
You can label arcs and edges in Pajek using the options on the input
file. In the Pajek manual, you find this at the end under the heading
"Exports to EPS/SVG/VRML". It shows only in these formats. (Thus, it is
not visible on screen.) Figure 16 in the manual provides an example. I
find it easiest to export as SVG. Under IE (not Firefox) one can
rightclick on an SVG and copy it into Paint or more sophisticated
programs.

Best wishes,

	Hi All-
	I suspect this is either easy or impossible:  I have a
coauthorship network for institutions and I've extracted a few ego
networks for institutions of interest.  The person for whom I've done
this work has asked that the edges be labeled with keywords from the
linking papers.
	 
	Since I'm using VantagePoint to clean the data and create the
matrices, it's pretty easy (although ugly from an information science
point of view) to actually compile interesting (inverted frequency or
whatever) keywords.  So I thought there would be a way to do line
attributes or something instead of just node attributes?
	 
	I've been looking through the de Nooy, Mrvar, and Batagelj book
and I see pictures with words next to the lines (sort of like one would
draw out an ontology), but in both NetDraw and Pajek I can only figure
out how to turn numerical weights on and off.
	 
	I guess I could always photoshop the exported image, but that's
not so elegant!
	 
	Help?
	 
	Thanks in advance,
	Christina
	 
	P.S. - Has anyone else tried VantagePoint for getting the data
ready to go into UCINET or Pajek?  It's fairly helpful at rolling up
various versions of institution names in Scopus.
