Pattern Maker help

Aug 04, 2005 5 Replies

I need help! If one of you has used Pattern Maker Pro, can you tell me how to move a created layout into something like Publisher? I am trying to create a chart that will have more than one page and I would like to do it in Publisher so I can add borders, etc., and a cover, thus creating a single document that I can print.



I have created the pattern layout like I want it but cannot figure out how to save it as a file that can be opened in Publisher. And frankly the Help section doesn't!



Come on, gang, you've never failed me!

I think this is what you want to do:

Go to FILE,

then go to EXPORT TO GRAPHICS FILE

That may get you where you want to go.

Alas, when you have created a layout for the pattern, that command is not an option.

Thanks! You made me look harder and I found that you can export layouts as rtf's.

In "Layout" mode, click on "Layout" menu and then choose "Export as RTF" Rich Text Format is useable in almost every program.

just for future reference, sometimes you can export by way of "Print to File" depending on the software. Having something like Adobe Acrobat can be very helpful for moving images and documents around different platforms and software engines.
