Best way to combine multiple saved files into one

Hi Nicole,

please don't tell me you *only* saved to png, and not to svg! :-(

png files are raster images, and you will not be able to edit the objects they show with Inkscape again. They are only a kind of 'photo' of all your beads, texts, ....

*Always* save to Inkscape SVG, if there is the slightest chance that you will ever want to edit the contents again.
You can still export to png, but *keep the original*.

If you want to combine several png files into a larger one, you could, for example, use a word processing software (like LibreOffice, or Word) and import them all into a file, and save that

- in the format of the program (odt, docx, ...)
- *and* to pdf, to be able to easily share the file with people who do not use the same program to write their letters ;)

If you want to combine several svg files into one, open them all, and open a new file.
Save the new file under a new name.
Then go into the first of the other files, hit Ctrl+A to select everything, then hit Ctrl+C to copy the selection, then switch to the new file, and hit Ctrl+V to paste the contents of the file for the first tutorial part.
Repeat for all other parts.

Regards,
 Maren

Thanks
