Anyone out there have some computer ability and willing to do me a favor? In return like the Godfather maybe some day I could do a favor for you.

I have a medium length article that deals with possible contact and/or unusual experiences of sci-fi writer Philip K Dick, writer Robert Anton Wilson, musician John Lennon, Dr John Lilly and Dr Albert Hofmann. I have about 10-12 images to go with the article.

I need someone to integrate the article with the images.

If you want you can be credited as designer.

If this is not too difficult and interests someone let me know here or send me a message.

Thanks but don’t need those services…right now.

This may be a long shot but what the heck. Somebody might find the subject interesting and/or want to do it for credit, exposure, as a favor, cure for boredom.

I would send a PM to UKSpycatcher, his site seems to have lots of articles mixed with images or maybe Trav knows? Do you mean the article super imposed over the photos, or the photos mixed in between the article?

integrate how? into a web site? or into a document like a pdf? if the end result is something like a pdf you can use MS Word to design and cutepdf to generate a pdf document.

Yeah just a normal article text on a page with images on a page.

It could be a pdf and/or a website.

Thanks for the suggestions. Maybe I can put it together myself.

It’s pretty easy if you have Microsoft Word/Office like masootz suggests. You just type it up and you can make columns, etc., and insert photos wherever you want to. Many computers have this software built in. You just click an icon at the top and it puts in a little "square" in your document in you insert a photo. You can drag it wherever you want and move you columns accordingly.

I’m not quite sure how to create a PDF…yet.

I used WordPerfect in this example, but it’s all pretty much the same. I highlighted the columns link in red on the right, and the "insert" on the left…you just choose the file and location of the photo.

You wouldn’t see the lines, etc., in the final of course.

Great!

I did not know about those features. Yes it seems pretty easy. I will give it a try after Christmas. If I have any problems I will ask you for help.

Thanks very much. Have a great holiday!
