Hi David
To be utterly honest with you, I've come to expect that level
of obnoxious behaviour from Dane recently. One has to woner if,
as he claims, he has no time for email these days, why on earth
he bothered to create such a ridiculous, not to mention unhelpful
response. I think that his claims of being too busy are nothing
more than wishful thinking, and his spiteful comments are noshing
more than an expression of his own inadequacy and jealousy of
those of us who do have lives outside of the house. Then again,
he's probably too busy trying to decide which radio to listen too
today! Sorry, I just couldn't help myself!
Now, regarding the original topic of discussion, as it would
have been a waste of electrons to dedicate an entire post to the
sorrowful life and times of mr. Trethowan. I have a theory
which just might solve the problem. It may not work, ohr then
again, it just might! I have some of the pages which my boss
requires already scanned as JPEG pictures. So, here's the plan
and I welcome your comment on whether you think this might work.
I plan to try copying the contents of the image into the
clipboard by opening the image in something like the default
Windows viewer. I will copy the clipboard contents into word,
and just scale the whole thing up to twice the size, see what
happent when I do a printer dump. Any thoughts welcome, (as long
as they're nothing to do with selling jellybeans)!
Kind Regards

This seems a childish response for a technology list.

Your livelyhood depends on this and nothing's working? Oh dear,
perhaps its
time to try something else, howabout selling jellybeans or
something like
that.

I'm not quite sure whether I tried that or not, to tell you the
truth.
I've tried so many darn ways to get this thing to work that I'm
about out of
options and, I'm sorry to say, out of patience. I just want
something which
works and, were it not for the fact that I do Braille
transcription
professionally now, so my livelihood depends upon it, I wouldn't
be using
Office at all.
Be that as it may, I need to produce some large print versions
of the
books I'm working on for my boss. We can get the text blown up
just fine.
But the images don't get enlarged and it looks really bad so says
Lynne and
so says my boss. My boss, Jill, knows it isn't my fault that
it's like it
is. But nobody else at work has s clue in terms of anything over
and beyond
their day-to-day work and that's why I am employed where I am.
Anyway, to get back to the point. Lynne says she's tried this
but the
problem is as I say, the text is scaled up but not the boxes
which contain
pictures to illustrate the stories in the books. To have
double-sized text
but small pictures looks apparently really odd and it doesn't
help those
children whose vision impairment is sufficient to allow them
access to large
print, but not small pictures as well.
The picture illustrations are important as a teaching aid, as it
helps the
children to remember details about the stories we are trying to
get them to
learn from.
Actually this brings up another topic but not for this group.
I'm going
to be starting a thread on education, the way it is delivered. I
have to
admit that I've changed my views on this subject since I began
working with
young children directly. it took ages for my DBS check to come
through but
now it has and in the second half of last term I learned a lot.
Anyway, to answer your question, yes, we have tried that. But
apparently
although we can import the pictures, that doesn't help to enlarge
them. If
we enlarge the text, that's fine. But the pictures themselves
don't get
blown up as well.
I can't quite fathom that one, I must admit. I would have
thought that,
if you blow up an entire image to double size, then the entire
image,
including the pictures, should get blown up as well. I'll try
this one
again but at the moment I'm not hopeful.
Kind regards

Have you tried the Insert Picture option from the ribbon?
This is just a hunch, I bought Office Professional 2010 though I
don't
know why I bothered, it works well and I've nothing against the
product
whatever but I just don't use the thing.
