    Are you telling it just to use one page?
    Drag it over the page so that it's using a lot more :)

    Yes, I've been using just one page - to do it over several pages is good for collage but I cannot figure out an easier way to do it, excepting screenshooting and pasting several times - I'll give it a try though because I really want to create a collage, but I need to figure out a design first and then explore wikipedia for the color codes.

    thankyou ever so much :)

    and I screenshotted an area:

    If you want to actually have something that looks cool on the screen rather than for printing out, you'll have to use a paint prog to re-arrange the squares

    :D

    Wow! that's brilliant - the difference is unbeleivable - she looks stunning - you ARE a genuis and artistic too - Thank You :A

    But what is this foxit programme? Is it similar to PDF or a viewer that's independant to acrobat or does it belong to the adobe family?

    final question if it's ok with you - paint programme allows me to cut only once? so how could I rearrange?

    It's an alternative to adobe;
    http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php

    It takes around 2 seconds to load a pdf rather than 2 minutes.

    I used to have Foxit as my default and keep Adobe for a backup, these days I don't even have adobe on my pc :)

    The third and fourth one on that list. PDF Reader Installer and PDF reader Zip.

    If you want it to install, and add itself to the Add/Remove programs list, use the installer.

    Or you can use the zip. Just extract it to any folder and double-click it. This one runs from the folder it's in withouth installation and is good if you wanted to keep it on a usb key and use it on computers that don't have adobe installed

    Hi Meher - you want the third one down - "PDF Reader free!". I've been using this for a while now, much better than that horrible Adobe thing which takes 10 minutes to load.
    Thanks sweetheart, but if I say PDF free, then will I be able to view my PDF files - it's important to have a PDF reader for all my downloads
