A Sample of What We Offer Each Month

This page provides examples of the kind of material we make available each and every month. You can download these samples and try them out in your magazine, newsletter, bulletin ..etc.

You'll find two types of downloads on this page - text and graphics. The text-based material is designed to be copied and pasted into your documents as plain text. You would then apply formatting to the text to suit your publication. The graphics are designed to be downloaded to your computer and then inserted or imported into your publications.

Just a word of caution before you begin. To ensure the best results when using the graphics, avoid copying and pasting the images. The secret to getting good results is to insert the image directly into your magazine document.

If for example you use Microsoft Word, first download the image to your computer, making sure you save the image to a file on your computer rather than opening it in your web browser. When you have the file downloaded and sitting on your computer somewhere, open Microsoft Word. Place your cursor where you want the image to appear on the page. From the 'Insert' menu choose 'Picture', then pick 'From File' and browse to the image file which you downloaded. Select it and click the 'Insert' button. The image should appear in your document and you should be able to resize it without loss of definition.

The steps are similar whichever program you are using to produce your magazine. The key here is not to copy and paste, but rather to insert the image directly into your document.

I have just taken over the job of editor of our Church magazine. In desperation I surfed the net and joined Parish Pump. Many people have said how 'fresh' the magazine is this quarter. Thanking you. Well worth the money!

As a new editor this looks a brilliant source of information.

Thanks for the articles, cartoons and crossword. Life is made easier because they are so easy to use, and they make the magazine more interesting reading!
