Put some carriage returns (press the large button on the right of the keyboard) between each statement, like this:- (I've used the letters cr to indicate carriage returns)

cr
cr
cr
FOR SALE
cr
cr
cr
cr
cr
�5,000
cr
cr
cr
cr
cr
Tel: [phone]

If you find that this text has gone over to two pages, simply delete some of the cr's. You could also emphasie the text by making it bold (highlight it all and click on the little B icon at the top of the monitor, or press the Ctrl and B letters at the same time).

The carriage returns won't show up when you print it out by the way ! If you can't see them on your screen you need to click on the carriage return icon at the top of your monitor - it looks like two vertical lines with a little solid semicircle attached to the left line.

ok will try your suggestions thankyou

leo9902. I think the largest font size you can get by using the toolbar is 72pt. But if you highlight your text, then click on FORMAT at the top of the screen, then click on FONT you can choose whatever sie you like above 72pt upto1638pt.

Try this

Click on View - Toolbars and make sure Drawing is ticked a toolbar will be at the bottom of the screen

On the toolbar you will see a letter A icon click on this and you you will be given a set of jazzy options select one of these then type in your text and click ok

You can now resize and centre as needed.

Go to print and reset the margins all round to 0.5 to use maximum paper.

I dont recommend u print your advert though as it will use a lot of toner (expensive). Use Felt Tip pen.

There are also new Council laws about selling vehicles off the roadside etc.......and you could be heavily fined.
