Making your own stat cards?
How do you make your own stat cards? I don't have the funds to pay $800 for photo-shop(What a rip-off!), and MS Paint is useless for this type of stuff. So how do I go about making my own stat cards? What do you guys do?

You can actually do some decent image editing in MS Word, although it won't be up to pro standards. Here's how it works:
1. take the blank stat template, copy and paste it into MS Word. Square it (go to the Picture toolbar, click on the icon of the little picture with the dog, and scroll down the options menu to "square").
2. take a picture of whatever you want to put on the card. Upload it, copy into Word, square it, reduce it to a size where it will fit on the card, and just superimpose it on the card.
3. fill in the text areas on the card by making text boxes.
4. Save and print.

You can try Paint.net (http://www.getpaint.net/). Its free and supports layers. Works very closely to Photoshop.

But it can help somebody else.
