Useful info ta. I am going to have another go at working Gimp. We found that my Linux Mint machine is happy to talk to one of our old scanners using "Document Scanner" so I scanned in a crossword from a newspaper. I then cropped it to size to remove all of the stuff around it, turned the background white, saved the file and then loaded it into Gimp. I can't figure out how to control the size of the picture. It is a bit of a culture shock compared to other editors I have been faced with. Usually you set the paper size in the editor and then enter the text into it. Gimp opens with a massive canvas and imports my cropped document little bigger than a postage stamp. If I do print preview and fit to page it appears as a small part in the middle of a vast page. I want to print it A4. There must be a way to shrink the page and zoom the part of the image I want printed to be comfortable for me to write in the boxes................
Oh, I forgot to find a black sheet to put behind the page.........
Playing.
