Have letter size sheet with 2x2 grid.

Is it possible to export or save this as an image ?

I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish; maybe to print a sheet showing the location(s)?  If that's what you are after, there's a way to do that by printing white templates with cut marks:

  • Under inner border, select a border color of white and set the border size to 2 inches: this large border size will cause the entire print area to be border color (white) on every 2x2 print
  • Add 20 copies of the "Template" thumbnail (last thumbnail in the list)
  • Drop down "Cut Marks" and select "Solid Line" and print

The result will be what you see in your screenshot, just without the diagonal hash lines inside the squares.

P.S. To export this instead of physically printing it, just set up your printer as "Print to File" and you can print the results (each page) to image(s).

Regards,
Mike

Thanks for the explanation Mike ... that will work for what I wanted.

Though I tried "Print to File"   ..... I'm not understanding how this works as it does not have me select a location to save the file ... the dialog just closes when I click OK.

When you select "Print to File", you are just selecting where you want to print: same as if you had selected a printer.

Did you click the print button to actually print once everything was set up?

Then you haven't set anything up: you're not following my three step instructions talking about adding the 20 templates, using borders and cut marks... once you do that, the last step was to print.  You've not set anything up in that screenshot so there is nothing to print (the 20 templates aren't there - only the draft example view).
