Wordle

(The beginning of this post is at the end of the post below...hope you figure it out!)

Open the wordle in its own window.  Expand the screen.  Press control and Print screen button on your keyboard.  (For you print screen newbies, when you press this NOTHING HAPPENS!  Don't panic.)  Open PowerPoint.  On a blank screen, right click and click paste.  Your wordle should show up.  Adjust the size and go to picture editing.  I can't give you specific details because I'm on an old computer at the moment and don't have access to the newest version of PowerPoint.  You need to find the picture tool bar.  Find the crop tool.  This crops different than any photo software I've ever used, but it works.  Grab the black lines around the picture.  Move them to where you want to "cut" the picture.  Cool stuff!  Then stretch the wordle to fit the frame.  Print if you like.  (We change the background to white to save on ink.)
