Hi All! I'm not sure if this belongs in Beginners Issues or here - When I print something from the internet, can I choose the size? In other words, can I make a picture larger or smaller? Thanx!!

skrip:

Are you talking about printing a graphic? If so, you'd need to save it to your PC first, open it with a graphic editing program, and adjust it that way. You tend to lose a little clarity unless your enlargement, or reduction, is very slight. You'd need more than just MS Paint to edit graphics so they still look good - I use Paint Shop Pro 7.0.

If you're just talking about text, I'd copy and paste the text into a Word document, select all the text, then change the size/type of font before you print.

I guess I was talking about both/either! I understand what to do with the text, but I'm still fuzzy about graphics. I'll play around with it some more - thanks so much for your help!! :~)

skrip:

You might want to download this free program that ivnj found. You still need to save the graphics to your PC, but you can pretty much reduce the size to whatever you want, with little loss of clarity. After you do that, you can delete the original to save room on your Hard Drive.

Here's the link to Easy Thumbnails (Thanks, again, ivnj - outstanding find!). I downloaded it and have been going hog wild making avatars out of graphics that I'd thought were too large to reduce properly. Some of them have needed to be "squared" up in my Paint Shop Pro 7.0, so they'll reduce exactly to avatar size, but the program is really neat and has expanded my graphics tweaking abilities.

Thanx sonnet26! I'll head over there. I did finally figure out how to choose an avatar. Really neat idea!
