I would like to add my name and make some t-shirts and trick or treat bags. I found some file shares, but I need to know what program I should use to add names/edit. What programs do you use that have a free trial and how do you get the Disney font?

EDIT>>>> I just saw the thread for design tips. I'm sorry, I was just finding my way around this wonderful site. Wow, its two of my fav things Disney and crafts!!!!!!!
I am going to read the thread now!!
 
Here is how to download the "Disney" font called Waltograph for free:
• Go online to www.dafont.com
• Search, find and open a font called “Waltograph”
• Click on the “Download” button
• Then click on “Open”
• Next you will need to unzip the file. In most computers, a screen will pop up with a box on the left that says “folder tasks” and in the box click on “extract files” Follow the prompts by clicking “next” and “finish” making sure that the final box has a check mark next to “show files”
• A new box will pop up. In this box, copy “Waltograph42” and “WaltographUI”. Do this by holding down your “control” button on the bottom left corner of your keyboard and click each file. Then on the top of the screen click on “edit” and in the drop down box click on “copy”.
• Next click on your computers “Start” button
• Then click on “Settings”
• Then click “Control Panel”
• Then open the file that says “Fonts”
• At the top of the font screen click on “Edit” and then in the drop down menu click on “Paste”


I and a lot of people use photoshop elements to do DISign work, but you can use word if you are doing simple things like adding a name to someone else's DISign. Here is how:

Text Box

• First copy and paste the image you want to add a name, word or words to.
• Next make sure that your cursor is below the image that you want to insert a text box over by hitting return twice.
• Then look for the tab at the top of word that says "insert", click on it and scroll down and click on "text box".
• Next, a big box will show up on the screen that says text box...ignore this box but look for your mouse that will show up as an +. Move the +/mouse to where you want your text box to go then left click and drag the mouse to make the size box you want for the area you want the wording to go.
• Then go back up to the top of word and click on "format" and click on "text box" in the drop down menu.
• Look for the tab that says "colors and lines". In the fill section make sure the color box says "no color". In the line section make sure the color says "no line". Then the background will show through behind whatever text you type in the box and there won't be a line around the text box.
• Now you can type whatever you want inside the box by clicking inside the box and choosing font and size.
• If the box isn't the right size you can drag the corners and sides to make it the right size.


If you are using a dark transfer and don't want to have to cut out every little thing...here is how you can add a border around an image:

Borders:

• Go to the top of word and right clicking on "format" in the drop down box you will see "borders, page borders and shading"
• The borders will allow you to add a border around an image and will let you choose the size of the line and color.
• The page border tab will let you add a border to an entire page.
• The shading will allow you to color the background if you don't want a white background, but only beyond the square of the image that you pasted into word.

Hope this answers your questions!
