ok hamm when you go to Walmart. go to the school supplies. there should be and area there that has these slotted box shelves. they are stacked one on top of the other. the shelves has plasticized computer sheet. you should buy the one for windows word perfect. make sure the sheet matches the window application you are using. it will give a step by step work flow on how to create borders, how to create text boxes. how to convert word sheets to picture and a lot more. these sheets are very cheap and help a lot with what ever you want to do. go through them all see if there is anything. you may want to help your work flow. see this way after you do this enough it gets so easy you wont need them. I have forgotten a lot since I retired. you and I doping this is bring it all back happy shopping

hamm I was talking to one of the IT specialist from where I use to work. once we get the template. if we keep it on your thread. anyone can use it. I send him what I did so far and you. he told me I just made one mistake. he said when I used fill colour. it shadowed the coin. he will help us when he gets a chance. here is my first attempt. the one thing I find its starting to come back to me. take a look hamm see what you might like to chance. we will put the fill colour in first here it is have I can change the border style. plus the colour what ever you like. also if the text needs to be bigger. hamm if you want the text to have a style. just let me know as well hamm on your mac. check language if you want to see different letter style

I like what you have done so far. Here is something I played around with in Picasa. This is the way I would like the "collage" to look. Obverse on the right, reverse on the left and the coin information at the bottom. I am open to other ideas of course.

I think you should widen the white part and have the coin in the center top to bottom, then you would have room in the middle top and bottom for more info.

I don't know if I totally understand mcshilling. You want me to position the coin images vertically? Where would the information go? What other information do you think I should add? Thanks for your suggestions. Hamm

Rocky, I went to Walmart (personal there didn't know what I was talking about). And went to Office Max and couldn't find them. Exactly what are they called, maybe I can find them on the internet?

I like the first one better, but I think you should make the black/tan/black frame smaller...Ray

See if I can explain, widen the white left and right and lower the coins so they look like they are in the middle of the white from top to bottom. The writing can go where you have it now , only you can use above and below for writing.

You are doing good Ham.

hamm went to wall mart yesterday. they no longer sell those cheat sheets. they said that there is all that information free on the internet. I will go through some of my old office stuff see if I can find them. I don't even know if they would work with this new windows. I see what you are doing looks good. you are getting there. once you figure this out would you show the steps. to help the rest of us thanks hamm
