with MS Powerpoint know how to make / begin a POSTER, as opposed to a slide show ? |

Create a new document in PowerPoint, use page setup to resize the page(s) to whatever size you'd like the poster to be, start creating. -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia "If you raise the ceiling four feet, move the fireplace from that wall to that wall, you'll still only get the full stereophonic effect if you sit in the bottom of that cupboard." |

I just Googled "Powerpoint Poster" and got 1.6 million hits. Every link on the first page talked about how to use Powerpoint to create a poster... Armin |

What I've done is to put it all on one Powerpoint slide, with tiny fonts and small graphics. Sketch the layout of your poster on paper first - what sections go where. Then use the 300% magnification level or whatever works level best for you to put that material on the one-slide. It's a bit of a pain, but it can be done. Then take it to Kinko's, and they can blow it up and print it on 3'x5' paper or larger. Comes out looking great! The other more crummy way is make whole slide show with no master (i.e. no header/logo/whatever on each slide), then get Kinko's to lay them out for printing onto a single large sheet (e.g. 3'x5') paper in your desired order (vertical, horizontal, whatever). Be careful that they get the right order! I've done it both ways, and recommend the first way for a higher quality product. Either way, though, it'll cost some $$, maybe $100. Dave |
