What do you guys do for templates when you have tons and tons of shapes to cut?

I was just trying to find my place from yesterday & realised that I had missed the last bit of your post.

Do you have a photocopier at work? you could use photocopiable OHP transparencies. You can probably buy them cheaply on ebay as everyone does Powerpoint slideshows on their laptops these days.

and Kaz I can never add photos when I am using Firefox, so have to go remember to go into Internet Explorer if I am doing anything online that involves photos.
