You can drag this hand down the page with you to keep your place in the tut.

NOTE: I supplied the PattyDay font for your collection even though we do not actually use it in the tutorial. Because the sizing problems in higher versions than PSP9 I created the 'wordart' to save hassles. This way the size will be the same no matter which version of PSP you use.
