How to add a graphic to your convention letters/invites.

This tutorial will show you how to add a graphic to your letters or invites.

You can follow this tutorial for any invitation or letter you are designing, however, I am going to be using my 2021 convention invitation letters.

I use Microsoft word and word pad for designing my letters and Coral paint shop pro 2020 for graphics and screenshots. 

This tutorial - as all of my tutorials - assumes the reader is an absolute beginner. I am going to walk you through every step using words and screenshots. 

This is my finished letter.

Go ahead and open the letter you want to add the graphic to. 

If you want to add the powerful by faith heading as I have, the font I used is called, "Amasis MT Pro". If you don't have that one or don't like it, you can choose a font that you prefer. You can get free personal use fonts at 101freefonts.com 


Now we are going to insert the graphic you want to use. Go to your word or whatever programme you are using. Click on insert > Pictures > This device.
We're going to search for your graphic.


Now navigate to where you keep your graphics. You will need a PNG file, not a JPEG. a PNG file means the background is transparent so it can be placed on any colour paper. A JPEG means it's a solid picture with its own background.
When you locate the graphic you want to use, click on it and it will open in your letter/invite. See screenshots below.

With the graphic now open in your letter, click on the little box "insert behind text" then choose the "fix position on page" option. See the screenshot below.


Now grab the graphic at any corner to shrink it to the size you require and place it where you want it to be. 
I hope this tutorial was a help.
Enjoy doing your letters/invites.
Don't forget to visit jw.org  and get the link to the convention.

If you would like some free to use graphics I have added a few to the bottom of this tutorial. Just right click on any graphic and choose to save it in a folder. Remember where you put it though so you can find it easily when you want it.

Here are those graphics I promised you. These are my own graphics from 2008 when I was making digital scrapbooking kits. Click on any image below, then right-click and save as.

How to add an attachment to an email

 This tutorial will show you how to add an attachment to an email

I am working in Paintshop pro 2020 for graphics. Word and Word pad everything else. My operating system is Windows 10.
If you right click on any graphic and choose the "open link in new tab" option, it will open up a large 'easier to see' image.

This tutorial - as all of my tutorials - assumes the reader is an absolute beginner. I am going to walk you through every step using words and screenshots.
Assuming you have already got a document or picture you want to send in an email. We need to attach that to the email so the recipient can download it at their end.

First of all I'm going to open up my email account. You go and open yours. Compose your mail ready to send. See the little paper clip image No1. left click and it will open your PC.

You're going to go and find what it is you wish to send as an attachment. Mine was in my documents and in a field service folder I had already made before. [see screenshot below]























Once you've located your document, point your mouse and do a left click. You will automatically be back in your email account again and see that your document has automatically attached itself. [see screenshot below] 












Clever huh!

Go ahead if you want to and add more, but be warned, your attachments will be limited. You could pop a number of attachments into a zip folder and send that if you like. If you don't know how to do that, I'll add a tutorial soon.

Thank you for using my tutorials. I hope they help to make life a little easier. If you know someone that could benefit from them, please pass the word around.
