Reduce size of project by half - 1/14/2008 9:37:40 AM    Lemon Blossom   Posts: 3 Joined: 1/14/2008 Status: offline I have the Print Master Gold 17 program. I have used it many times but can not seem to figure out how to do the following: I have created a project using a Print Master border/background with many text boxes inside the border and on the background itself. The project is an invitation to a party. However, I realized that I created the entire invitation 2X too big. (It uses a whole page to print, I need to print 2 invites per page.) Is there any way I can just proportionately re-size the entire project in one move, in stead of having to re-size the border and then having to re-size all of the text within the boxes to fit the newly sized border? < Message edited by Brandy redux -- 6/20/2010 7:09:43 PM > Post #: 1

RE: Reduce size of project by half - 1/14/2008 8:04:14 PM    lindarobin Posts: 947 Joined: 8/28/2004 Status: offline Open your project. Go to File| Printer Setup... and change the size of your paper to 5.5x7.1. Your project looks the same, but you will notice that the rulers now show a smaller space. Cut your paper in half and load your printer with it. You are now ready to print "half size" invitations. < Message edited by Brandy redux -- 6/20/2010 7:10:15 PM > (in reply to Lemon Blossom) Post #: 4

RE: Reduce size of project by half - 1/14/2008 8:15:26 PM    lindarobin Posts: 947 Joined: 8/28/2004 Status: offline Just a bit of explanation here. 5.5x7.1 is the same proportion as 8.5x11, so when everything "shrinks", there shouldn't be any vertical or horizontal distortion. However, there's no accounting for how your printer will set the margins on the page and those margins could alter the proportion enough that you may need to widen or lengthen some elements or text boxes. < Message edited by Brandy redux -- 6/20/2010 7:10:22 PM > (in reply to Lemon Blossom) Post #: 5
