Here is a trick I tought myself a while ago....

If you have something that takes up a page and want to reduce it to a smaller size. Try this.

1) select the information and use the copy function.

2) go to print shop and past it onto a new file. Leve it highlighted.

3) select the copy function.

4) go to the document (I use Word or Exel) and past it.

The information is now a picture and can be sized as you would any picture.

I don't know how well it works on other programs but it might work.

Take Care,
Steve

that is excellent advice.....when you do a screen capture and paste it into word, I believe it is in vector form and you can shrink and enlarge is without losing any resolution.....so you can paste a ton of pictures on one page by dragging them to small size and then later enlarging them without any loss......

Well, if you use FireFox all you need do is hold the Ctrl Button down and use you mouse scroll wheel to zoom or unzoom.

Good advise...

However if referring back to that page I posted for Cora, that was already digitized and no matter what you do (on my screen - wish I had a 50" monitor), a 15" page is still going to be all but unreadable...

John - Can you read it in it's larger size? Because I can't read it in it's reduced size.

Cora, send me an email at webmaster@usssealion.com and I'll reply with an attachment of that page (it's still pretty difficult to read - very light original typing)...
