I used PowerPoint with the built-in shapes and icons. It's very easy to use and you get all sorts of alignment help when you try to make it look neat and tidy. I knocked mine up in less than an hour.
I then save the file as JPG, upload it to Flickr and use it to publish in TAS.

...meant to add, you can also use Word as it has the same drawing tools and shapes, but it isn't as good when it comes to alignment help.

Thanks guys Never used PowerPoint and total novice on Word Think I would lose the will before I got very far ;( Maybe YouTube has a non techie guide for the lazy I do know FoxPro for DOS ! - possibly not the right tool  Also know quite a bit about scanners, manual, multi feed, things I forget I know or used to know |

Well, you did ask and you're not going to find much simpler than PowerPoint!

I did the same way as Martin.
I prefer using PowerPoint as it is a lot easier to move things around and you can change it to Jpeg so it can be used for a picture.
As you see you can create in your own style
I imagine YouTube has some great videos showing you how. There is an open-source version of PowerPoint that is also good to use.

I’m not up to date with the current Microsoft offers. If they want money you can download www.libreoffice.org/ which does the same job for free in very much the same way. |
