Calendar, Posters & Cards

Create and Edit Calendars

A Calendar is a document that includes an image and a calendar grid. Yearly calendars have one page with a 12-month calendar grid. Monthly calendars have 12 pages with a grid for one month on each page of the calendar.

Instructions

• To create a Calendar, use the Calendar Wizard to create your base calendar file.
• To edit a calendar, right-click it and select Edit Calendar.
• In the Edit Calendar screen, you can edit what displays in the calendar grid:
  • Choose a design Scheme
  • Edit the month and year
  • Add and delete special events such as birthdays or anniversaries
• To edit the following items, click the Advanced check box at the bottom of the screen:
  • Set colors, fonts, and alignment for text in your calendar grids
  • Apply background colour and shading for the calendar grid
  • You can apply changes to all calendar grids in your document by checking Update All Calendars.
• To save the appearance and features of your calendar grid, click the Save icon. You will be prompted to give your Calendar Scheme a name. It is saved in Pics Print and you can select it in the future.

Create Posters from an Image

A Poster is an image sized to fit on more than one sheet of paper.

Instructions

1. To create a poster either use the Poster Wizard or create a new document.
2. In the Options User Interface screen, ensure that 'Simplified Interface' is not checked.
3. Using the Multiple Sheets command (Page Menu or on the Page Toolbar), choose the number of sheets of paper that your poster-sized image will use.
4. Change the layout to the Auto Layout of Full Page. Other layouts are possible, but this is the easiest.
   NOTE: Some smoothing and interpolition is applied when the Poster size image is printed. However, posters have a lower DPI and quality than smaller images. Viewing the poster from further away, does it really matter?

Create and Edit Greeting Cards

A Greeting Card is a two-page document, with a feature image and text on one page, and text on the other. One page provides the front of the card, and the text-only page is the inside of the card.

Instructions

1. To create a Greeting Card, use the Greeting Card Wizard.
2. To edit a Greeting Card, click on the image or text, and edit using standard Power Print functions.

Save Documents and Edited Images

To save a document:

• Go to the File menu and select Save or Save As. Save As will prompt you to enter a file name before saving.

The .pprint file will contain a copy of the images used. This file can therefore become very large.

To save an edited image:

• When you make changes to the image in the Image Editor, click the Save icon. The changes are saved directly to the main image file.

Printing Documents

• From the File menu, you can select the printer for Power Print documents, and change the way that printer is set up.
• To print documents from your default printer, go to the File menu, click Print.
• If you want to choose a specific printer, go to the File menu and choose Select Printer.
• To add a new Printer to your list of available printers, go to the File menu and choose Select Printer. Then, choose the option Refresh Printer List.
