when I open a clipart with layout&editing, the image is bigger than the complete page, is it because I did not load it to the suitable format?How do I get It smaller?

Also, make sure what your 'view' percentage is. I had mine set to 1000% instead of 100% one time, made quite a difference, LOL. Marji

open your design then click image on the menu bar, and then click modify handles appear around the image move the pointers to change the shape or size of the image the shape of the pointer changes depending on the handle the pointer is over hope this helps * 4 u

You can use any basic 'image processing' program like MS Paint (this comes with all older versions of Windows) or one of the more 'evolved' image/art processing programs like Corel Draw, Corel Paint, Photoshop, Adobe, or *Inkscape (*an open-source freeware program that works just about as good as the pricey programs!!!).

Just open the image and use the option (usually some variation of 'Attributes' or 'Stretch/Skew') for reducing the image size and reduce it to a workable size.

Then save the image as the Same Type as it originally was but Use A Different Name!!! This so as not to mess up the original clip art file if it is stored on your hard drive. I usually just use the name like original name, like 'Apple' but change it to 'Apple small" (real creative eh? lol).

Good Luck
Silver
