[QUOTE="hark, post: 591179, member: 13196"] I've been working on this wall calendar all year. I used a Word template to set it up since Word is the only program I have that the printer uses. Just the other day when adding individual photos into the dates, the images didn't insert the way I thought they would. Here I expected I could use the wrap text option to hide part of each photo behind the walls of the cells. Doesn't work that way. :( So I sized the photos to fit exactly within each cell. Imagine my surprise to see the photos moving up/down or sideways when zooming in or out on the document. I set them up when viewing at 100% and they looked great, but when printing a page, the photos move 1/16" from where they were positioned. And they didn't all move in the same direction. *sigh* Don't know why and even appealed to the lady who taught me how to set it up in Word, but she is stymied just as much as I am. So now I am scrambling to create an entirely new calendar using Photoshop. Yes, that's right. Last night I found this tutorial on how to import a Google calendar PDF template and go from there. It's a pain to make this from scratch again, but in case anyone else considers making a wall calendar, I just wanted to share this option. I am adding all the holidays and text myself and opted not to import the calendar with the holidays already on it. That way all my text will match. I can save each month as a jpeg and copy into a Word document. [MEDIA=youtube]fjTlQuvuYw4[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
