    If they are going to have different messages for different people, you could always add " Handmade by Rikki for Joe Bloggs " in the quarter for the back

    Glad you got it done

    Thank You for letting us know

    I like the idea of Handmade by.... for...

    I might be back when I mess up the printing. :rotfl:

    There are many programmes of the Office 2007 which I haven't even looked at. I really should learn more.

    Irfanview is a good programme to print images from as you can set the exact size and also resample the dpi, which can improve the quality. It isn't essential but doesn't take up much room

    http://www.irfanview.com/

    The plug ins are useful

    Install the programme then the plug ins

    You might like the results when using fotosketcher for some images

    I already like and use irfanview. Just basics for adapting photographs before printing.

    I have never tried fotosketcher.

    It is free and you can use it to change an image to pencil sketch, water colour or oil painting amongst others, not essential but free. There is also a portable version you do not need to install

    http://fotosketcher-portable.en.softonic.com/

    Another free to use one in webinpaint, which lets you remove things or people from images, again, not essential but now you are operating in the field of high end image editing you may as well try a few out :)

    Just finished printing the invitations. I am really pleased with them. :)

    Tried downloading the fotosketcher portable but my security really doesn't like it. :eek:

    Maybe some other time when I can sit down and work my way through it.

    Not sure why fotosketcher is flagged, maybe you can try it on another PC or use the installed version

    Glad you like the result
