Hi ! I �ve just been wondering why some fonts change when uploading the worksheets. I �ve asked to many people but nobody can explain to me the reason . Do you know it? I �ve also had some problems with the images of my ws, they �ve moved making the ws a little bit of mess.
thanks in advance, PAULA |

Avoid using fancy fonts that you have downloaded from the internet and you won �t have this problem. :-) Or, if you must have them, transform them into pics using paint, etc. and then they won �t change. |

Hello pauguzman!
Check out this link for maintaining the fonts you �ve used in your worksheets:
You can also do it as Koenigin_der_Nacht has suggested, but it gives you more work (I think).
The fonts change because the same fonts have to be installed in the other person �s computer. Eslprintables functions the same way. It only accepts the original fonts that you have in your computer.
Concerning the images of your wsh, don �t worry too much. That happens quite a lot here, but usually if you download the worksheet it �s perfectly fine. If that happens, just leave a note on the worksheet description.
I hope I could help you.
Love,

And lastly, small kids can �t read fancy fonts. And it is for our students that we make these worksheets -right?

yes, you are right libertybelle , we make the ws for our students, but I don �t understand what you mean by fancy fonts. I always use the fonts from microsoft office word 2003, I don � t know any other fonts, and I �m learning to make ws with this programme (and Paint)My technological knowledge is very primitive haha, and the fonts from this office word, for example Showcard Gothic, always change when I upload my works. |

With regard to fonts, layout, etc you should have a little browse through this discussion thread: http://www.eslprintables.com/forum/topic.asp?id=4329
There is some general explanation of a few things (including fonts) & a very useful link from Wolfy for a Word checklist.
Cheers,
