photo tricks?
 
 I have been working on the topic of winter sports in Canada and the olympics. Each pair of kids have ben doing some research about the differant sports and I would like to make a magazine from all their work.
I am trying to make a fake magazine cover about the olympic games, pretending my class of 4a are reporting about it! So i have been to photo tricks and uploaded a photo and chosen a a fake cover (time) but I can �t write any text ! What am i doing wrong?
Can anyone help please?Smile

Not sure what is photo tricks... Are you working in Word? Then just insert a textbox and make it transparent to fit the picture.

Ah, ooops, the problem is inserting text.

When you come to the point above, which will look smt like this:

http://graphics.imagetemplate.net/magazines/make.asp?template=0-471-600-sports_illustrated_magazine_cover

take a look at:

"Add Effects: Sepia tone, B&W, emboss, negative and more."

Click "more" and you will find:

"
Tools: Cropper | Resizer | Rotator | Add Text "
Click "add text".
