Many of our resources are sets of resizable images (picture files) which are designed to allow you to change the size of them before printing to suit your needs.  You will need a good word processor or desktop publishing program such as Microsoft Publisher, Microsoft Word or Open Office (which can be downloaded free from here).

Below are instructions for using Microsoft Word, Microsoft Publisher and Open Office.
