Bar-B-Lew,
I am using an old Cannon Power Shot SX130 camera that I got off of Ebay. It came with picture storing and editing software. After downloading the pictures, I edit the pictures for size, color, light etc. in that. It's not Photoshop, but it is inclusive enough for my skill level. The stories are written on an old release of Microsoft Word using text boxes, and the pictures are inserted and sized in them also using text boxes. Once a page is complete, I use a freeware program called Gadwin Print Screen Pro to capture the images on the page as one image, which then makes the file size smaller. That black box border you see on each "page" is Gadwin. But, when printing in 8 1/2 x 11 binder form pages, the black box border is not there since I'm printing the Word file. The images you are seeing are really 8 1/2" x 11", the print face is Tahoma and the type size is 12. In some things 10. Hope this helps. Sorry I can't get them just a little bigger. In 8 1/2 x 11 they look great!
