      It really is one of those things that you wouldn't necessarily think of but it makes so much sense after the fact!

    Love Technology Tuesdays! Thanks for the "duh" moment!

    Something I can't figure out on my own: How do people get frames that extend to the edge of the page when you print. A lot of the stuff that I download from TpT has no white edges (PDFs). It's early; I hope that makes sense!

      Lynn, I share the same problem. I made some stuff in Power Point, made it into a PDF, was all excited and ready to share it on my blog when I discovered there was a white edge on the PDF. I was so bummed. If you find the answer, please, please, please drop me a line and tell me what I did wrong.

    Would love to learn how to make polka dot frames and borders. I searched the web for directions but am not coming up with much.

      I'll add it to my list of things to blog about! It may take some time for me to get to it, but it'll be in the poll eventually! Thanks for the idea!

      LOL thanks! I try to make it all look easy so that people aren't intimidated by it! Some of the programs have so much going on that it's hard to figure out where to click/what to do, but I hope that the pictures help people feel confident in what they do!

    Wow – this is so helpful!!!
    Is there a quick and easy way to print out these tutorials?? I am still a paper person and I would love to make a tech help binder for quick reference.
    Thanks in advance 🙂

    • TurntoLearn says

      July 26, 2012 at 1:59 am

      So glad it's helpful! At some point next week I'm going to convert the files to PDFs and upload them to TPT, so you'll be able to download and print the files as needed. Stay tuned for that!

    Great Frames! I have the same 2007 program and by trial and error figured it out the LONG way! Love your quick tips that are so much easier!
    Thanks so much!

    I just love the step by step instructions! I followed this one on how to create a frame. How do I turn it into an image file so that I can insert it in other programs (like Print Shop and Smart Notebook)?

      Awesome question! I'll have to add it to the tutorial! You can save it via File > Save As, and select jpg or png from the drop down menu, or you can drag a box around the two shapes created in PowerPoint and right click them, then choose "Save Picture As". I'll definitely add it to the tutorial, thank so much for the awesome question!
