| looking for a fix... I was over on the MSN free site and came across a pattern I wouldn't mind doing. I tried printing it but I guess it was to big for my printer and I only got half.
so what's the trick for those free patterns?

| Possible solutions Hmmm,
Don't you have an option on your printer that says "fit to a page"?
It should reduce the size so it prints on one page.
Or you can try and resize the image with some imaging software.
I'm sure a guy feeling withdrawal will find a solution
Regards,
Marcel

| Depending on the program you are using to print with there are different ways. I use Adobe Photoshop CS2. With that you can go into a print preview and select one half of the pattern, then repeat the process and select the other half. Don't forget to leave some overlap on each side to help line everything up. Most people seem to use PSP, so hopefully somebody can give you the 'How To' on that one.

Marcel | I saved it and then that gave me more printer options so I printed it as a landscape which did the trick...
I found a pattern of a 34 Frod Truck...
that should hold me over until I get some more wood. I gave my first steelhead trout away so I think it's time I make one for our wall...
thanks again

Jim | because the 8 1/2 X 11 is a little small and the truck doesn't fit that fully eather...
Thanks Jim
