? for those smarter w/ computers than I (so, basically everyone)

Is there a way to create something in a word document (or in our case, works b/c we are too cheap to pay for word) and have it printed by the photo lab at costco?  I keep seeing all  these cute sayings on pinterest that I'd like to print off for our 11x14 frame in our kitchen, but I can't seem to find any that are uploading correctly to costco - either they aren't the right shape to crop appropriately, or they aren't good enough resolution to print that large.  I want to just design my own simple font/saying thing, but print on larger, photo paper than our printer will allow.  Any ideas how to do this?  online programs?

    I bet you could take it to a place like Office Max or Kinkos and they would do it for you. Probably more expensive than Costco, but you could just take the file on a flash drive or CD.

    I am pretty sure that you would have to send it to Office Max or Kinkos, somewhere that prints documents rather than photos as the file version is different.  Costco is just going to be able to open up jpegs, etc not a word file.  If you really want Costco feel free to email them to me and I'll get them in the right format for you.

    You could save your word file as a .jpg instead of .doc and then upload it to wherever as a picture.

    Or you could cut and paste it into something like MS Paint. (I think most works programs come with paint.)

    OR you could get shiny photo paper and put it in your own printere, print it off, and crop it to 8x10.

    I've saved things as pdf files and taken them to Kinkos to get printed.  They are very affordable and turned out great.

    Ditto PPs - just save as a .jpg and print. Just be careful not to print too large or the font will get depixelated and get blurry
