help! i just can't do this....

[cheli1]

I am trying to help my son do a science fair project. All I need to do is make the title on his poster board. It is a tri-fold type of board. I need to make the letters 1.5" tall. It needs to be bold. I don't know the first thing about running Photoshop CS4. My son is in the 4th grade and he needs to turn this project in 2 day from now. Ok laugh, I have been at this for 4 hours now and I just can't do it. When I think I have it it prints out toooooo small or runs off the paper. I also have gotten it to look like all the letters are on the page and then I can't even print it. This is what I need....WILL BANANAS BROWN FASTER ON THE COUNTER THAN IN THE REFRIGERATOR. Can someone tell me in how to do this? Please explain it to me step by step????

Thank you,
Cheli

I figured out how to do it in WORD! If someone knows how to do this in Photoshop you can still post it. I bought the program so I would love to learn how to use it!

Thanks,

PS see what a night of sleep can get you? a new brain!

the most simple way to do this would be to show your rulers and drag some guides out to measure 1.5 inches.

to show rulers hit ctrl+r.
to drag guides out click on the rulers that just showed up and drag down.
for horizontal drag from the top vertical drag from the side.
from there it is just a matter of resizing your text.

if your rulers aren't showing measurements in inches right click on them and select inches.
