- If you get a colour scanner, something that's fun to try is to scan
- your watch, if you have one that's non-digital. As the second hand
- moves, it leaves a three colour trail, it makes some rather cunning
- effects if you have a stopwatch as well...

- Question about scanning: I need to scan in a pre printed form, fill
- out the bits using something like Create, and then print it out on
- the pre printed form...has anyone figured out a way of getting this to
- work?
-
- Until now I scan the form, use create, paste the tiff into a create
- document (which never fits and alaways has to be scaled to A4 size)
- add what I want where I want, delete the background tiff, and print on
- the form....that always misaligns, either too high, low, left, or
- right...
-
- Help?
