Ok, I need some technical help.
Basically, I'm starting the lessons with an introduction to Hiragana, Katakana & Kanji, so that people can get an overview of the main differences of the phonetics of Japanese/Roman languages. For me, this was the best way to start understanding how Japanese is broken down.
Although I am using various teaching sources as inspiration, I am actually creating all the material myself from scratch, because I want to avoid plagiarism. I don't want my lessons to be merely a case of copy/paste, if you see what I mean.
I am using Microsoft word to create the charts for Hiragana & Katakana etc.. but I want to include stroke patterns as well. To do this, I will have to create a jpg of each character, and then insert that jpg into its respectable place in the Word file. However, I don't know what software is best to create jpgs? I have Vista Business version.
Can anyone give me a tips? Paint is utterly useless..
EDIT: actually, I'm not using Microsoft Words; it is Open Office, but still.. need to create those jpgs to insert..
