When you want to change the size of the inspiration photo on one of the shared documents, OR when an inspiration photo has to be printed larger than an 8.5x11, it gets a little tricky when doing it from your home computer, so follow these directions:
1. First, click on the Google Doc link provided (or insert your own photo into a new Google Doc).
2. After the photo opens in the document, click "File" in the upper menu.
3. A menu drops down; click "Make a copy." A box pops up where you can name the file and save it to your own Drive.
4. Edit that document, changing its size as needed (you can only view the original, not edit it, until you make your own copy).
5. Click the "Crop Image" icon in the toolbar. It will show the full picture, and you can drag to select the section you want.
6. Once you've decided the section to print, click the "Crop Image" icon again to apply it.
7. Then click the printer icon in the toolbar to print that section at full size.
