How do I change the size of clipart?

How do I make your clip art smaller. I would love to print your hands to write the names of the primary kids on them and send them around the world but I don’t know how to make them smaller.

Every program is different, but in general, if you are pasting clipart into a word processor, like Word, WordPerfect, Star Office, Works, or Open Office, you’ll follow these steps;

Go to the Insert or Image menu at the top of the page.

Choose the option that says something like “Insert a clipart image” or “Place” or “Insert picture”. Follow the instructions to insert the picture.

Click on the placed image — you’ll see “handles” on the corners. Sometimes they are represented with little dots on the corners of an image. By moving these dots, you can resize an image.

Usually you can constrain the aspect ratio (keep the image from distorting) by holding down the Shift key while you resize.

Hope this helps,
