If you have an old typewriter then you probably have some older books lying around right? You can make get that older "brown paper" look by using old paper from the "notes" section of books from the 1970's or earlier. Will be an older style of paper and it will already have aged.

Or take some new paper with a document type look(like stock paper for diplomas/buisness cards) and throw it in the oven at @250 for about 1-2 minutes at most.

I can't help you with the typewrite keys but if you really want to go all out.... Go to some estate sales. Alot of older German families live in my area in the US. Last time I was at an estate sale I could have gotten the German keys for the typewriter. Plus the old books obviously. I actually almost thought they were german naval engineering books(Maybe for subs?) when I was digging around at this guys house. Nope, just normal 1950's/1970's boat building stuff from his company's trade shows.

Those weren't the extremley rare droids I was looking for....

Or, if you have a program that allows you to insert text, download German fonts (there are several available) and put them in your Windows font folder. Most programs use the Windows fonts, so they will be available then.

Thank you very much

Do you want these in .pdf format so you can print them, or just .jpg for your computer.

The .pdf will be printer friendly, you just need to print them on parchment paper, and then cut them on the cut lines.

Working on them now, just trying to set the cut marks for you.

...how's things going? were you able to complete the certificates or am I being impatient

Reinhard Hardegen · 03-26-13, 05:11 PM

I have them done, just placing cut marks so you can cut them to to the right size. As the documents are just white background, so you can print them on the parchment paper. Will be ready to send to you tomarrow.

Reinhard Hardegen · 03-26-13, 10:41 PM

Okay, I think I have every one done now. If I left out any one please let me know. The links are in your e-mails... enjoy
