Default New Concept on my VB forum v3.8.7 Patch Level 2

I have paid someone to do a clean installation of my licensed software, which has been completed. I have designed a new concept for my header using a specific font in MS Word..

Here is my problem,,I am not sure of the process to actually getting the header image so I can do the overlay in GIMP. I am at a point where I should start leaning more of this,,so I am not retaining people,,

Can someone maybe attached the header image if that is possible?

Please post any questions or concerns,

Guy

So your coder used a font you don't have?

Are you talking about the logo on Mustang Ranch?

If the font is on your computer you should be able to use it in GIMP with the GIMP text tool. That would be easiest then trying to transfer it from Word.

I suppose you could take a screenshot when in Word (Press the Print-Screen button) and paste the screenshot into a new image in GIMP, then crop the image as necessary and you have a logo.

I do have the font installed on my computer and have a basic understanding of GIMP. The issue is the VB header, I need a blank one to open up in Gimp to work with.
