Which program are you using?
The only program I have is Finale NotePad, but hopefully that will change soon. Do programs such as (normal) Finale and Sibelius have this capability build in?thejoyofsax said:Which program are you using?
Which Finale tool do you use to do that?DukeCity said:Don't know if it will work with Notepad, but with Finale you can highlight portions of your page and save them as gif images. Then you can paste them into a Word file.
Go Tools, Advanced Tools then Graphics.Al Stevens said:Which Finale tool do you use to do that?
That's right. Once you have the graphic placed in your Word file, when you click on it, it will have a box around it with "handles" so you can adjust its size and placement. Sometimes takes some trial and error to get the right size and marginsstefank said:Go Tools, Advanced Tools then Graphics.
I think it only works out of Page View, and note that you have to double click to start to make the selection you wish to export. I got very frustrated before I found that out...........
Instead of that, I'd encourage you to watch ebay for an older version. I use 2004, and it does everything I need for notation. The newer versions mainly added useless features for enhanced midi playback and other such bells and whistles, and also introduced a lot of bugs. I can afford to upgrade, but I won't.thejoyofsax said:And save your money -- surely there is a pirated copy of one or the other somewhere available to you.
An admirable alternative that I did not think of!Al Stevens said:Instead of that, I'd encourage you to watch ebay for an older version.
You can get legal copies of Finale or Sibelius at academic pricing ($240 for Finale, $220 for Sibelius). One of the best things is that, as a registered user, you can have access to Finale's telephone tech support. They're truly amazing, and have helped talk me through many tasks with the software. Worth every penny!thejoyofsax said:And save your money -- surely there is a pirated copy of one or the other somewhere available to you. I'm not that big on theft ... but what student or "young person" on a budget can afford $400 and $500 software?
I find the Finale yahoo discussion group helpful. They've answered a lot of my questions. Many experts post there.DukeCity said:...you can have access to Finale's telephone tech support. They're truly amazing, and have helped talk me through many tasks with the software. Worth every penny!
Yes. Well, kind of. It's a function of how Word handles graphics file imports, not how the contributing applications export them.Straightsax said:One of the great things about Sibelius is that after one creates the graphics file and exports it to a word program -- the graphics file can be resized to exactly the way you want it in the document.
I would imagine that Finale would have something similiar.
