Updated sizing?

[zimsjim]

sorry all, I'm new and it seems like the instructions for adjusting the size of the decals, etc to print them is a few years old so maybe that's why i'm having a hard time.

I'm trying to do a lego movie and desparately need the same "face" (yellow to print on clear decal paper) but with as many mouth expressions as possible to cover the mouth sounds of EEEE, AAAA, etc of someone singing a song

I found this, http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=30761 but it saves as one image, so i cut out one to word but i don't see where to resize it now.

Can anyone help on how to do it or are their faces anywhere like this that are already sized?

Thanks!

I see. You could probably use the 'rulers' in word as a reference and re-size manually; or you could cut out the part you want in a photo editing program (there are some free on-line ones, too) and then insert that in word.

I guess i still don't get what I'm suppose to do to make this thing the size of a lego guy face so i can printout on decal paper and stick in on a lego head

i see the size thing on the far right of Word, but it gets huge when i do it?(attached pic) Please help

I'd suggest using inkscape and Adobe Reader.

1. Create a new document in your preferred paper fromat. Drag your image into the document. When asked to embed or link, choose embed.
   
2. Lock the proportions of the imported image (Lock symbol) and enter desired height .
   6.125 mm for faces I believe.
   [+]Depending on your printer you might have to place the image
   about 1cm from the borders of the document.
   
3. When you're done save it as pdf. Increase the dpi for rasterization.
   
4. Open in Adobe Reader. In the printing dialog choose "Actual size" as size option
   

I also uploaded a version of the instructions with pictures.
