I'm ready LOL Lets do it!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!!! You need pa open to sign, new, 11.8 Portrait or Landscape mode? got it which one is 11.8? Beccas, isn't it past your bedtime? just kidding landscape gotta remember I am new at this.... Dave behave yourself I am tired of studying for midterms so yes I am up late past my bed time ready for some fun go to insert, graphic, in the gg get blank You should now have the blue box. Go to object, maximize I'm lost already? Dave be good okay Chris, are you in pa? Do you have new sign? I'm lost too Okay, I got it... Sorry just being honery. Thanks Lynne got it I am lost... Barbkay, I may be early in asking this but why do this rather then inserting a frame? i didn't know that was tucked away in the gg. ugh Wonderful Helen! :) Yeah I got PA loaded. Things are a bit slow on my side. By using the blank, you can change it to a graphic for a card. The frame won't let you do that. But it's real handy for templates, right? I think I got too much stuff open & running at the same time. howedo i load pa at the same time as icq Thanks, I didn't know the reasons for each one. Go to the START menu It might help if you reduce the size of ica and pa, so you can have them both open side by side I just ALT-TAB between the two Does everyone have the maximized blue box now? yep YEs...I do Yup yes KNOCK OFF THE HORN!!!!! Yes Just how big is the blue box supp'sed to be? I am all set I think yup Now you need to have the blue box hightlighted, go to edit, duplicate okay did that. Cool! ok ok Then object, max on the new one. You should have 2 boxes, one on top of the other ok well kinda my one is off to the right a little Done. next... ok ok ok I have only a blank page me too Bec, if they're both maximized, they will be the same done The 1st one on mine is minimum sized done.. Barb, insert the blank blue box, max it, duplicate, and max that one If both boxes aren't lined up, go to edit, select all, object, maximize ok great that was my prob. what blue box <&PALchat1> 'scuse me... some of you might want to tile PA and the chat window so you can see them both. Provided you only have PA and ICQ open and nothing else... right click on your taskbar and select tile windows vertically. Now a tricky part. highlight the top box, and grab the right edge. resize by dragging the edge to about 1/4 inch pat the center X Barb, go to insert, graphic, and put blank in the gg. You'll get the blue box what does ee mean Daffy, if you mean gg, that is graphics grabber Next, repeat the last steps by duplicate, max, and resize, but this time start on the left and resize just to the right of center ok now your losing me me too sort of I hate to be a pain here, but I was on the original one and now I clicked again and ended up here. OK. highlight one of the blue boxes, dupliate it, then max. Is it too late to join? Well, I'm lost Rose thats what i did and now i am totally lost me too ok so we have one big square in the back and 2 squares kiddy corner from each other right? Do you have the first blue box up? What blue box? Please quit honking the horn? Do you have PA open to landscape sign? Whoo boy. My first square looks like a skinny vertical rectangle who's honking the horn No, portrait, I can switch. Barbkay who are you talking to? <&PALchat1> You can go to Other on the menu and uncheck Enable sounds.... it is much more peacful that way. Rose yes, its gettin anoyingg Yes, Barb? What shape is the blue box supposed to be in now? ok thanks I now have one big bos and 2 half size side by side am I right i am total lost what blue box I am in landscape--now what? ok, so I have 3 boxes now and none are aligned with each other. To catch everyone up.... First go to insert, graphic. When you get the graphics grabber, enter blank. You will then have the blue box The What OK, now I have a blue box. Insert, then graphics, then get BLANK graphic ok i have a blue box to I started all over again. Back in the sign, go to object, maximize Okay, done done gotit done done Now edit, duplicate, object, maximize. You should have 2 boxes on top of each other ok Wouldn't it be better if one box was max and the other min? OK No, Chris - you need the center X Ah okay. Next, highlight the top box, and resize by grabbing the right side and moving it to about 1/4 inch past the center x The left size, top and bottom should not move thats left side ok OK OK, I think I got the hang of it now Now highlight a blue box, duplicate, and max it ok now I am lost Me too We're starting over, Bec - you've already done this So the top box is sticking out the left side about 1/4" beyond the bottom box? oh ok great thanks ok So now we have 3 blue boxes? I now have 1 large box and two half width and full height on top right? The top box shoud be just a little narrower than half of the big box I got 2 large and one half sized. on the center or the sides You now have 2 large boxes and one smaller box i got 2 large boxes and one 1\4 size box what should we have I have a strange star-thing going on. Daffy, the box should be half size - top to bottom same as the big one. ROSE _ YOU GOT IT!!!! Ah, I see. 2 stars leaning into each other at the center? ok now i have a star thing sort of mine is two triangles leaning to center one is upside down Now, highlight the new big box, and resize it like the other one, but start on the left side and resize to about 1/4 inch past the center Twin stars! I have a double star. Now you can delete the first big box - background one. you should have t half-size boxes, about 1/2 inch apart, and the same size I have them! :-) cool!!! Yabba Dabba Doo! ok Ihave 4 small boxes is that right? i got them Now save it as half size card template. To use it, open - check open copy so you don't overwrite it - and change the blue boxes to borders, background, graphics, etc. Wait a minute do I need 4 boxes? Bec, you should only have 2 boxes. each of them half size ok I am lost tottaly lost one at the top and one at the bottom? If you have 4.0 with rulers, each box shuld be about 5 x 8 side by side, with about 1/2 inch in between ok guess I will just sit and listen cause now I am totally confused Does everyone have it? yep yes Bec, you had it before - what happened? Yep yeppers! Yes! Ready for another one? Yes yes Yer the boss! sure wel all I know is I hve 4 boxes Get rid of two Beccas. Bec, get rid of 2 of them, the other 2 should be side by side 5"wide by 8"length ok did it ok with about 1/2 between the two. inch How about a KitKat candy wrapper? The two remaining should be 5x8 in size how do you know? Yes, what size? Sounds great Barbkay Sounds cool Barb.. small snack size sounds good GREAT cool I happen to have a wrapper in front of me - saved it for this ok go for it a ne blank sign? GGGGGGG empty? Beccas, 'cause Barb said so before a few sentences back I'm totally lost Do I do a ne blank sign? Nope For this one, we want to use business card. Get a new one up, orientation doesn't matter because we'll be changing it text moving too fast too read landscape or other are we suspose to have a bc or a sigh Business card right? Blank business card Ready You should save the card template we just finished BTW, what was the first template for?--I was late. half fold greeting card Can I get private lessons some time LOL ok I am ready ok i got the bc Sure - we can meet at Mesquaki for lunch nobody pays any attention to what is written or answers any questions how are we supposed to lear if you go so fast uh huh yeah right LOL First thing we need to do is determine the size. So I'll measure the EMPTY wrapper Barb I am trying to pay attention Go to edit, change dimensions I haven't finished trying to read what you wrote on first template you go too fast and with half screen is is not readable HOW??????? Are you using a split screen? Go up to file and see where it sys save buffer save it. yes I think under layout you can change to IRC ok Barbkay what did you want us to do? Change the dimensions to width - 2.7 ht. - 3.8 now it is long? ok Is there anyone that does not have 4.0? I can open it instead of 3.0
