She explains a few really simple steps to do this in MS Excel-yes Excel. It is very quick and works like a dream.

Great idea, thanks!

That is sooooo neat! Thank you for your suggestion - and I see I have another place for great wisdom - it is very nicely laid out and many helpful subjects. I am also interested in her books. Thank you.

Thank you for posting this. This is so easy and way cheaper that taking it "Out" to be done.

Thanks for sharing a great idea.
In one of the comments it says: remember that each segment horizontally will finish 7 1/2″ (margins leave 1/2″ on each side) and each vertical segment will finish 10″. Another good tip is to only drag the picture/drawing by the lower right “handle” so the proportions are not distorted as it is enlarged. This would make an enormous size.

Thanks Johanna for sharing this with us. I will definitely be using this in the future.

How clever!

I am so excited to see this mentioned. This morning 1st on my list was to review some calendars in a box with quilt patterns that all have to be enlarged to use. I was debating on throwing them out. I will copy this link and check the details later.
What a timely topic for me! Thank you so much.
