2. Directions and Tips for Editing/Printing
PLEASE READ THESE DIRECTIONS/TIPS FIRST!  THANK YOU!!
Don’t like the section headers? Change them!
Not enough room in a particular section? Play around with font size. Decrease it enough to make it all fit. Still can’t make your text fit? Re-consider what you you’re typing. Can you say the same thing with fewer words?
Don’t forget to change your contact info. in the bottom box on the first page!
Feel free to add tables to organize your text (on the next page example- I added a table for my spelling words and resized it to fit in the space.
Don’t waste ink! Looks great in black and white! WARNING: If you select to print the file in black and white or grayscale inside PowerPoint the background graphics may disappear. To print in black and white, change the color settings with your printer. (Graphics also print better if you select “High Quality” or “Best” when printing.)
If the above does not work, right click on the thumbnail of your slide and click “Format Background”. Next, on the task pane to the right, click the little picture icon. Select Picture Color. Select the down arrow next to Recolor and choose Grayscale. (This may vary a little depending on your version of PowerPoint.)
If you’re printing at school and you only have a printer with black ink, you don’t have to do anything except click print!
WHEN PRINTING: Make sure you only print pages (slides) 4 and 5. Those are the two pages with the actual newsletter.
The first time you create a newsletter, save it as “(the date) newsletter.” For example – “August 7 Newsletter” Next week, open the file, change what you need to and then save with the current week’s date. This will save you from having to re-type certain things each week/month.
Please do not me to ask for a version where you can move the graphics around. I CANNOT do this or I would be violating the terms of use for the graphics I use. I also cannot make changes to the layout of this template. If you don’t like the sections as is or need more room, consider renaming the sections to better fit your needs.
Use the blank page with border only to create notes, type a bigger spelling list, etc.
The next page/slide shows an example of the newsletter filled out like I would use it in my own classroom. It looks great printed in color or in black and white!
