How do I make a "contact sheet" of photos?
Jay,
Thanks for the tip. I'll try Snagit. Alex "Jay Freedman" wrote: There is another possibility. The SnagIt program (www.techsmith.com) can take a screen capture and save it directly as a JPG. I haven't played with this aspect of the program enough to know whether it can automatically size the image while it's saving it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it can -- it's a very versatile program. You can download a time-limited trial version from the website to see what it can do.

I've got a real cumbersome workaround: convert all documents to PDF then open them in Adobe and save as JPG. It takes time so I was hoping for a quick and easy solution! Thanks for your help!

If that's what you're after, no, I don't know how to do that, in Word or in any other program. On Sat, 31 Jan 2009 10:49:01 -0800, Alex wrote: Thanks, Jay. I've been using Irfan and the contact sheet printer works great for image files. I guess I asked the wrong question though. What I really want to do is print a contact sheet of the thumbnails in a folder containing many file types such as Word documents, photos, Powerpoints, etc. Any idea how to do that?

There's a much easier way than using Word. Download the free program IrfanView (www.irfanview.com). On the file menu, click Thumbnails. Choose the folder, select the pictures you want, and click File Create contact sheet. It also has lots of options for picture size, additional text, etc. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
