PageMaker help needed!

[fangtu]

Hi, our school is currently trying to finish the yearbook, but I've encounter a problem while placing pictures in it. Whenever I try to insert an image through "Place" the image inserted gets distorted and out of proportion. :pinch: Does anyone know the reason for this and how to perform this process of inserting images correctly? :(

Anybody please help!

You are inserting images correctly. You have to resize the image by holding down the shift key while doing the resize. That will make it stay in proportion. I will need more information to help you further.

For example, some of the students are writing some lines in chinese or other asian characters, the only way to have the computer read it is to place them as images, (installing fonts would not be a lot of help because later these files are going to be sent to other places to be printed). I've done the resizing method keeping its proportion, exactly as the way you've stated it. However, the process doesn't work with these characters, they appear to be not legible and distorted.

I've tried editing the lines as pictures in photoshop and copy-paste them into PageMaker, they appear to be legible, but the problem is that they appear as unlinked (since there is no concrete file that supporting it). My question is, are they going to be printed in they way that we see it on our computer screens? or is it going to be searching for the original file to make referece to the copy-pasted images? cuz in the later case I believe they won't be printed properly...

Please give me your advice, thanxz in advance
