Okay... so I got my laugh for tonight! I just can not resist this. Shouldn't it be the slow pink elephant stepped over the lazy ant? Yes, I took typing........ It was too good to let go by with the pink elephant and all I have had to drink is water. Sure am glad it is you that got that request and not me! Good luck! It is past time for me to go to bed!

Lilian, get it up on the screen, however you do that, like as a design. You can take a "screen shot" of the screen this way: I have a blue key down by control than says "fn", which is a function key. It controls anything printed in blue on the other keys. Yours may be another color, but you should have one. My "print screen" key is up at the top by "delete". In the white letters it says "insert", but in blue, like you would have on a 'shift' key, it says "prt sc". Now that USED to actually print the screen on your printer. What it does now is print the screen to the clipboard on your computer. Then, you can open Paint, and go to "edit", and "Paste" the screen shot into Paint. You can then crop it or do whatever in Paint like you do with a piece of clip art. Cool, yes? Found out that one the hard way, they should say "save to clipboard", not "Print screen", sheesh. Try it, I'll try to explain better if you can't find it. Hugs, Marji

Wow, I never knew that. How will I remember?

Actually I recently learned about print screen and I use that for pictures of designs that don't come with a jpeg because I can't figure out how to get a picture of my design from PE design. I know I can print a picture but I cant save a copy of it.
I didn't know about the save to clipboard.

Just to confuse you more... I have an elephant font in my msoffice / msword - and it just looks like very bold times new roman! I think I would ask the lady for an image of exactly what she wants. Good Luck!

Marie, I think she may mean the "Elephant" Font. I've put a picture of it here, and a link to download it from Urban Fonts. But this is just a TrueType font, not digitized. You'd have to find out what letters she wants, and have them digitized for you, or do them yourself (can't remember if you digitize or not). Good Luck with this one! Hugs, Marji

Well Gerry, this is no joke. I thought so to,and I start laughing, but this lady said this is Elephant writing and she wants a design writing to be embroidered. How is your hand? Love Marie.
