Dave I just wanted to send a big your way. I happened to stumble across this thread quite by accident...I was looking for something else and your title caught my eye. Because of you, I decided to make my daughter's autograph book based on your instructions. I finished it yesterday and thought I would share your inspiration. Now it doesn't look quite as nice as yours. My daughter doesn't know about it as this whole trip is a big surprise for her. Anyways, here are pictures of what I did:

I added blank pages for those characters I did not make pages for.

Again, thank you very much for posting what you made. The book was easier to make than I thought it would be...for me the hardest part was making sure the pages printed right.

Ok I am still working on this. I have 2 questions, which way is better to format landscape or portrait? We tried to print last night but we had problems just printing one slide, it only seems to want to print the entire book, that is fine but I need multiple copies of my generic pages. I am using powerpoint, any tricks to this? Thanks.

Dave, your books are a great idea. Each time we go down to WDW we buy a new autograph book. Having a personalized one that is home made is an awesome idea. Thanks for sharing.

I think your book looks awesome. Great job!

Hey Jenny, it's personal preference as to which way is better to format the pages landscape vs. portrait. I do portrait, but that's just my preference. To print one slide with PowerPoint try the following:

select print
a window pops up for you to select the printer, etc.
in the middle of that window there are selections for "print range"
ALL is the radio button selected by default
to the right is "current slide", check that radio button
that way you can print only the slide you're on.

Hope that works for you.
