The foils are made using Microsoft Word, but they can also be used with the the free alternative, OpenOffice. The wordprocessor in OpenOffice is compatible with word-files. I could probably convert them to an imageformat, but as long as they are kept in their original format, they are vectorized and scale almost perfectly when printed in another size. If they are converted to bitmap, they will most probably look awful, and will loose their ability to be scaled.

Also the general idea with these foils is that it should be easy for anyone with a Word compatible wordprocessor to develop them further, or manipulate them to their personal needs.

The reason the drawings does'nt show in Wordpad, is that Wordpad lacks the drawing functionality from Word.
