Sue and Buddy,
I am certainly no master at making sigs, but when I made mine I used all of my office tools. It may be more time consuming but I enjoyed making it. I openened powerpoint and inserted the pics I wanted from file. This is a good way to get two or more images into one file. Then I resized them and put in text boxes and even added a border by inserting clip art and then looking up borders. When I was done I went to file and save as and at the bottom where it says file type I changed it to jpeg and then saved. Then I right clicked on the file I just saved and opened with my MS Office picture manager and cropped the pic down to the size I really wanted it so it didn't have all the white around it. That is also a good way to even up the borders on the pics b/c sometimes they can be hard to size to the exact same sizes. Then I saved that, right clicked again and openened it in paint and did my stretch/skew to make it the right size to be able to post it. You can also do other editing here. Then I just uploaded into my photobucket and added the link to my account here. That is a way to do it if you don't have all the fancy tools that some people have.
In powerpoint if you go to view and toolbars and then make sure the drawing toolbar is selected, that will give you more options for editing your
hotos. They will show up at the bottom. Hope that helps.
I know it is a lot of steps and there are probably some things you can do to make less steps but since I knew what to do where that I just how I did mine.
