Hello Fred and all.
Does this qualify?
A few times a year various groups we belong too have a meal at the local Lincoln College Catering Restaurant where meals are prepared and served by the students.
I get the job of creating a Menu for each person attending with their exact choices.
I have always used a Word Processor, - Open Office, but thought I would get a bit more creative and use QU and gloss paper (£1 for 12 sheets from the local Pound Shop, quite good paper for this kind of job)
I Found the placement of the individual graphics and text much easier in Qu.
I have a prog 'PhiMatrix'
http://www.phimatrix.com/ which I use to place a Phigrid/1.618 over image and placing the elements and text to this grid is a doddle with QU
The header graphics were created using
http://cooltext.com/ they come with a transparent backgound.
The two Gascogne shields were .png I had to put them through Elements 4 and convert to transparent .giffs
I have about 15 or so menus to provide, all the same except for the person name and actual menu chosen.
I have the base layout saved as a job. But so far have been unable to get this job repeated 15 times in the queue so that all can be created and printed at one go.
That is not an insuperable problem, it is very quick job to just change the name and menu and print each one individually , but it would be nice to have all in the queue at once for checking/proof reading.
Critical comment please.
Grumpy Jeff
