    Using Microsoft PAINT I wish to print a rectangular picture exactly
    78 x 68mm. I then want to print 6 pictures of the same size reasonably evenly spaced on one page, Is this possible?

    Kind regards,
    Pat Alley

    Pat Alley--In Paint's Help|Index look up Resizing Pictures and then Multiple Copies
    Once the image is resized and saved, you Copy it and use the dotted rectangle tool (called Select on the Toolbar panel at the left) to create little mini-windows of approximately the correct size or a little larger--one at a time--on the Paint page (canvas). Then Paste the image into the mini-window. In each case the Paste will seem to jump into the first pasted image, but it is really just superimposed and you can drag it with the mouse to whatever postion you want.
    I suspect there is a more sophisticated method, but the above works.
