Southport Poster up on OS

Post by Mad Dog »

Following on from the Fans Forum about us needing to do our bit, the Southport poster is up online to download. Schools, shops, clubs, pubs, bars, newsagents, if you can, for the sake of the club, please try to get one up:

Any trouble because it's docx, here's a convertor to turn it into a doc file:

And now being broadcast across the Facebook network on my page - everyone get it up on all your social media sites and spread the word - I have converted it to a png format below - should be able to right click and save it to your desktops ready to upload to whichever digital media site you place it on.

Me neither :evil:
I managed to get a small copy of the png file, but all I get is a folder with lots of odd documents in when I try to open it.

Depending on your machine, right clicking on the image that was posted above, and saving as should save the image for you. I usually will save to desktop - then loading the image into a normal browser should allow you to print it.

Or just click here http://www.thediamondsforum.co.uk/downl ... .php?id=52 - and then print the image. Most printer drivers have an option to fit to page - so it will scale it up as needed.

I've mentioned the PDF before, as a Word Format is not the best though I think for Windows you can get the Office Viewer which will load those files.

Absolute nightmare for any Mac users.
Why they can't post in pdf format which can be opened by everyone is beyond me. :evil:

Yep - I am a mac user :-) Though I do actually have Office for Mac for work reasons.

It's not always as simple as that - if the person creating the file is using Word 2003 which doesn't have an option to "Save as PDF". I know they could load a copy of OpenOffice and do it via that, or use one of the various shareware / freeware progs, before anyone suggests that.

That feature is about the only good thing with Office 2007 / 2010, so many people have stuck with the product that had a decent user interface - and was bundled sensibly too.

The alternative is forking out for Office 2010 or the full Adobe Acrobat package.

The uploader is using Office 2007/10. The problem is with it being docx file and thus causing a problem. The poster can be saved as .doc, which wouldn't cause the problems these guys are having.

Anyway, problem solved! Use this to convert it to a doc and you're set (get the URL for the poster and stick it in):
