I am assuming you know the basics of Paint Shop Pro and where the tools can be located.

Here are some arrows and bars you can drag and drop where you need to mark or underline where you are. .
Just left click and drag to where you want it then let go.
They will stay where you put them until you close your browser.

Preparation
Open your tubes, duplicate them (shift-D) and close the originals.
I always open all of my tubes and close as I use them
The tube used more than once here is the scrap kit. You can close the other one after using.
I also keep a copy of the tag example open to refer to.
Save mine from the top of the page and keep it open if you would like to do this.

Webpage Design Information
This webpage background was made in PhotoImpact with a tutorial by Deb DeHaven
Sadly, she passed away but her tutorials just came back online, thanks to PIRCNet.
You can find the tutorial here.
The font I used for all of the text on the buttons is BrockScript
The font I used for the "Scrap Rosalinde" tutorial header is Chopin Script.
Click on the font name to download the font.
I use PhotoImpact to make all of my headers due to the amazing
3D text it has and the wonderful presets available free online
Most of the presets I use are either the ones that come with PhotoImpact, usually the Gel ones,
or from Deb's PI Tutorials and More (see below) or Carol Oyl's site
This is the address to Deb's old pages
http://www.fortunecity.com/skyscraper/millenit/1716/pitutorials/objects/presets/presets1.html
I can't find any links to her new pages but the presets are still on this page for download.
For more sites to find PI Presets, take a look at my Great Beginnings page.
