girls that used microsoft word for their table #'s

how do you save it as a jpeg, or how do i upload it to a photo website so I can print it? Also, why am I having so much trouble typing on the picture, it keeps going in weird places and it's hard to move?

you cant save it in word as a jpeg, you would have to do the number in a photo editing program i.e. photoshop in order to save it as a jpeg.

to type over the pic, once u add it to the word doc, double click on the pic, click the layout tab, click behind text then ok. once you do this your words will be in front of the pic.

wahoo! a response! I thought girls on here said they used microsoft word to do their table #'s? How did they print it as pictures? Which program did you use? I don't have photoshop.

Jess you may have an easier timeusing Powerpoint if you dont have a photo program

then when you save what you have done, save as JPG

then you can just save on a CD and print at CVS or something

I tried power point but for some reason the pics kept coming out blurry when I saved it as a jpeg

they look blurry, but they're really not

also, if you're using powerpoint, make the table sign much larger than what you want to print is as, that way you don't lose the clarity

for example, if you want to make 5x7 signs, make the powerpoint slide 20x28...then when you print it as 5x7 it'll be crystal clear

What's the DPI on the original photo? If they're less than 300 DPI to begin with, they'll get blurrier when you make them bigger.

I'm not sure. What do you mean?

That explains it...it's starting out with very low quality, so stretching them will reduce their quality even more.

Is it possible to re-take the photo at a higher DPI? If not, you may want to make the table sign even smaller...like 4x6 or 3x5

When I made my numbers I resized the presentation page to 20 x 28 so when it prints it prints out to the size of 5 x 7 without being stretched. I followed the directions of an 07 bride. But I have no idea if this would affect your picture or not.

That will just make the photo keep its original proportion when being resiezed,,,won't affect the quality of the photo

Hey Jess,

I think that looks good but maybe choose a slighty larger or darker font to write the table #s? Just a suggestion! It looks great though!
