Now that you have read our beginner tutorial on opening your digi stamp in MS Word and printing it, we are going to learn to resize an image and put multiple images on one page in order to save paper.

I've created a video tutorial covers everything in this written tutorial as well as how to flip an image. I would recommend watching the video tutorial first and then come back here to follow the written tutorial at your own pace. Click here to watch the video.

First we are going to change the page margins so we can maximum the space used when we print onto cardstock. In Microsoft Word, click on "File" and then on "Page Setup".

Change the Top, Bottom, Left and Right margins to .25". Then click the "OK" button.

Let's insert our digi stamp into the document. Click on "Insert", then "Picture", then "From File".

The "Insert Picture" dialog box will open. Now we have to find the digi stamp file that we saved to our computer in the beginner tutorial. First click on "Desktop", then double click on the "Pink Cat Studio Digital Stamps" folder to open the folder.

Click on the digi stamp file and then click on "Insert".

Now you will see that the image has been placed in the document in the top left hand corner. Next we are going to check the size of the image and decide if we want to change it.

Right click directly on the image and a popup menu will appear. Click on "Format Picture"

Click on the "Size" tab and you will see that the height of the image is 2.02" and the width is 2.13". Here you can change the size if you want. Just type in a new value for the height and then the width will be changed automatically to keep the image in the correct proportions. Be sure that the "Lock aspect ratio" check box has a check mark in front of it. When you are finished, click the "OK" button to return to your document.
Another way to resize an image is to first click on the image, then you will see a bounding box around the image and in each corner a small black box will appear. You can click and drag on any of these black boxes to increase or decrease the size of the image.

Now that you know how to resize an image, I'll show you how to put multiple images on one page.
Click once on the image and then click on the "Edit" menu and then click on "Copy". This will copy the image to the clipboard.

Now you must select where you want the duplicate image to be pasted in the document. Click off of the image, just to the right to make the bounding box disappear. Then hit the space bar a few time to create some space between the images. Now click on "Edit" and then "Paste".

Now there are 2 images on the page. If you wanted to have 2 different images, then instead of copying and pasting you can repeat the process of inserting an image that is shown at the beginning of this tutorial and select a different file to insert into the document.

To fill the rest of the page with images, click off of the current image so that the bounding box disappears. Then hit the enter key a few times to start a new line. Now click on "Edit" and "Paste" to paste another image into the document. Repeat this process to fill the page with images.

Now you can load some cardstock into your printer and print out the images.

Notes:
If you make a mistake or you accidentally delete one of the images then just click on "Edit" and then "Undo".

If you hit the space bar or the enter key while an image is selected and it's bounding box is visible then you will delete the image. If this happens just hit "Edit" and then "Undo" to bring the image back. Click off of the image so the bounding box disappears and then hit the enter key or space bar.
