A Simple Guide to Making an Autograph Book

[cshelzy]

honestly I did not select the type of paper
I ordered the 9cent discout prints, it is glossy
but I tried writing on it with a sharpie and it worked fine

I know this thread is for autograph books, but I am hoping someone on here can point me in the direction or actually has the epcot passport document for word.

Thanks

Just curouis what kind of paper did you have them printed out on so you can autograph them??

Most people seem to prefer matte finish for their photo autograph cards, because it looks a little nicer (not too shiny). Glossy works with the Sharpies too, though, if you aren't given a choice.

Yep! Choose the designs you like, print them out, cut them down to size and take them in to be bound. Be sure to keep in mind that 1 1/2" is about the maximum thickness that they can spiral bind.

AHhh! I need help. I must be doing this totally wrong. I am following the directions in post #1. I found designs on Natalies's page and clicked on it then I save picture as and it went into my picture file on the computer. Now when I go into word. I try to paste the image and it just shows the file folder with the jpg under it, not actually the picture. Can anyone help!! Please

Open the picture file, right-click on the picture thumbnail, choose "copy", and then paste it into your Word document. Did that work?

no, that is what I did. Maybe I saved it wrong.

I didn't change the margins could that be the problem. I am not sure how to do that.

 

[therannj]

when i click on the image it says it is at 33% is that where I should save picture as?

 

[MusicMouse]

In Photobucket? Yes, if you save it at that size, that should work. You don't need to resize your pictures until you get them into MS Word. It's much easier to do it in that program.

i cant get a pic to show just the jpg. file pastes.

 

[MusicMouse]

OK, let's start from the begining. Try this: go to Natalie's Photobucket, choose a card design, click on it to make it larger. Right click on it, choose "save picture as", and save it in a new folder, but his time create the new folder in your "Document" file instead of your picture file. Sometimes the default photo programs in our computers do weird things when you try to cut and paste. Try putting that one picture in MS Word and see if it works. Hang on, we'll figure this out!

 

[therannj]

didn't work. Does it have anything to do with the margins cause I can't figure out how to change that?

nevermind the margins are already at 1 inch.

 

[MusicMouse]

Which version of MS Word are you using?

ETA: I sent you a PM.

 

[PIRATEGIRL007]

Ok I took all the advise here and other threads, downloaded, saved, agonized over decisions on who to cut from the books, spent about 10 hours on artscow editing and arranging and finally ordered my books!

I'll post pics when I get them. Thanks for everyone's help.

Now its time to start on Tshirts.

 

[MusicMouse]

Awesome! I can't wait to see the pics! If it's not already on your to-do list, you should try the Spiral Tie-dye Mickey Head T-shirts. We got more great comments from the Cast Members about these than any other shirt that I made!
