| FOUR-Make
sure floating is checked, this way you may move it
around to find the best looking place. Click in the
color box you filled and the large text color box will
fill with this color. If it is white, it may be hard to
see here, drag your mouse over the words to highlight
them. |

it is time to merge your picture. After you have
merged it, you will add borders. |
|

your dropper again and pick a color out of your
picture for the borders, and right and left click
again. Click on IMAGE, ADD BORDERS. |

and open the TOGGLE TOOL OPTIONS window, and set your

TEXTURE. Just look at all the textures and see what they
do. |
| FIFTEEN-Get
your CROP tool, start in the top left hand corner, just
down a hair from the top. Go all the way to the right,
and then down to almost the bottom. Leave just a bit off
the top and bottom. If you mess up just right click and
start over till it looks right. Now double click inside
of the box and you are done. |

| This a tutorial to
make stationary
with text inserted. We have used
Paint Shop Pro 6.0
and Outlook Express.
We now use Paint Shop Pro 8.
ONE-
Choose the image you would like to use. Resize it to look good on the
side of stationary, longer than it is wide, and not too large. This
image is 194 x 346 pixels. |
TWO-Once you fix
your picture to just the right hues and size, save it. Then if you want
to start over you can, without loosing your original picture |
THREE-Click
on the DROPPER and pick a color out of your picture for the text, make
sure it is a contrasting color, so the text will show up nicely. Once
you find a color you like, right and left click to fill up both color
boxes on the left. Click on the text tool and put the cursor over the
picture close to where you want you text. You will have a chance to move
it before it is set, so don't worry to much here. The image below shows
how you can set the font, text color and text alignment. Just play with
this until you get the effect you like. |
FIVE-You
can do text one line at a time, or all the lines at once like we did
here. If you don't like it, you can always click undo, and start over.
Press OK when you are thru |
SIX-Once
the text is FLOATING on your picture, click on the MOVER tool, and then
click and hold it down and move it to where it looks best, and let go.
Get the MAGIC WAND and right click, and the text will be set. |
NINE-Now
set the borders as follows. This will put borders only on the sides, so
the stationary can fill up the entire page when you are thru. |
 |
 |
ELEVEN-Once
the border is highlighted, select IMAGE, EFFECTS, BUTTONIZE
BUTTONIZE each border.
Then add borders again just as you did the first time, and BUTTONIZE
them also the same. |
 |
THIRTEEN-Get
your DROPPER, select a color you would want for the paper area, and
right and left click to fill the color boxes. Get your MAGIC WAND and
select the area. Get the FLOOD FILL bucket and click inside of the area. |
 |
Make sure
the AUTO PROOF is selected and then play with the adjustments till you
find what you like. If you don't like anything, just click CANCEL, and
your stationary will be the same.
When you
are satisfied with your paper, right click inside the area with the
MAGIC WAND, and it will be set. Now you are ready to crop the
stationary.
|
 |
Now just follow the STATIONARY WIZARD
and choose the font, color of font, margins and a name and you are done.
Now its in your stationary file, and will be listed in your Outlook
Express Folder. HAVE FUN MAKING STATIONARY! |
