Tony, Sorry the document is a pdf, that's what my scanner produces, I think it can probably produce a jpeg too but I don't know how, I'll ask my daughter to look at it next time she's here so I will know how to do it for the future. This being retired with a home office is ghastly, the wonderful machine I had at work you just pressed a button and got what you wanted and the colour was perfect.

I hope Fiona's suggestion works for you.

cheers

Don't worry, Sue, I'm far more clueless than you! I haven't got any idea how to follow Fiona's suggestion, I have never used Paint and don't even know if I have it on my computer! :roll:

Thank you both so much for your efforts, but I have just had to apologise to Pete as I hadn't realised that the PDF file was all out of focus and I'm afraid that I can't do anything with it.

I just wish to be at that time! If I were when Enid Blyton started her sunny magazine then would have definitely wrote to her. I bet Enid Blyton enjoyed writing her magazine. How fun and exciting it was to have a magazine all to herself!

I have decided to make a bit more work for myself by including any Letters from all the issues that I have and also any full page illustrations saying which story they come from and who illustrated them. The additions for now are just from No. 6 and No. 7.
