Hi, Excuse the dumb question but: My printer/scanner only does A4. So how do i go about copying to disc, some of the certificates that i've ordered as they're bigger than A4? Hope you understand. Joan |

Can you reduce them to A4 on a photocopier first? It might work that way. |

If you place them carefully on the scanner you only lose the plain borders, no info is lost. So long as you don't mind that, it's straightforward. Janice |

Hi, Janice will give it a go and hope it works ok. I know some family already want copies so will be easier to print from discs. Angela, If it won't work by careful positioning then it looks like a visit to town is in order. Was hoping to be able to avoid this and manage at home as we only have 2 busses each week! :0( Thanks Joan |

Do you have a digital camera? You could take a photo and reduce it to jpeg. That's what we've done with some original certs we were anxious not to handle too much. Christine |

You might need a macro function (I think it's called) to take a close-up. Christine |
