Certificate

[Monica Biswas]

Hello Dawn and YouthLearn-
Here are seven recommendations from our community about creating 
certificates, using free software and spending little money on supplies. 
Thanks to William, Margaret, Cheryl, Robert, Kathy, Sandy and Linda!  And 
best of luck to all of you!

Dawn,
I believe you can do that in MS Publisher. I think there is a template. I 
have not used it in a while but if not you could always design your own.

Oh yes get...

PrintShop software.  You will love using it, if you have any question just 
ask me.   You can make certificates, cards, stationary...and on and on.

You can purchase some inexpensive certificate paper and create the 
certificates yourself in Word

You may want to look at websites for PrintShop and PrintArtist, that allow 
you to download some graphics, and other desktop publishing tools.

Dawn......Microsoft Word has certificate templates that you can use to 
create your own certificates. I make my own and purchase the fancy paper 
at the office supply store. You can get all kinds of fancy papers...some 
with gold and silver embellishments. Just create a certificate in Word and 
orientate for landscape rather than portrait and you're good to go. You 
don't need fancy software to do what you want to do. A pack of fancy paper 
usually sells for less than $8 and you get any where from 50 to 100 sheets 
in most of them. Some of the papers that are pre printed border papers are 
really nice to use as well. You can choose ink colors in formatting to 
match your color schemes. It always gives me a little extra boost to see 
how creative I can be making certificates. I have fun with it and it kind 
of makes me proud to see how beautiful they can be!  Good luck!

Dawn, I think somewhere on theis website you will find certificates that 
you can download to print, http://www.globalschoolnet.org; you shouldn't have to get software because there are certificates 
already created.... good luck,
linda
