This is how i made my banner
1) Click on View>Toolbars>Drawing if you do not already have the drawing toolbar on the screen
2) Click on the rectangle and make a nice sized rectangle. If you have word 2002 or higher i find its easier to make the square ouside the border that says "create drawing here" so you don't always have that annoying border popping up
3) Add pictures, graphics, autoshapes, etc.
4) Click on "insert word art" and choose the nice plain default style.
5) Type in ur nickname
6) Click on fill colour (the paint can) on the drawing toolbar and color the square, wordart, and autoshapes to the color of your choice. To put in a gradient or use a picture fill, click on the little arrow beside the paint can, and choose "fill effects" you should now see how to add pictures, gradients, textures, the likes
7) Next i find it easiest just to unselect everything, then click on "Print Screen" on you keyboard. This will copy the screen. (not actually print it, just copy it)
8) next go to a simple photo editing program, doesn't have to be fancy. I use microsoft photo editor.
9) click on edit, paste as new image
10) use the box select tool and just select around the rectangle.
11) Click on Edit-Copy
12) Click on Paste as new image again
13) save as a jpg or gif file
14) upload it with and image hoster or send it to me (couchie@shaw.ca).
