How do I create a photoshop item with EXACT physical dimensions?

Hello Friends,
I have been experimenting with this and have not been able to figure it out.  I am submitting an ad for print.  It must be exactly
3 5/8” W  X  4 ½” L
The dimensions of my ad are notably different (landscape!), but I need to make my ad fit into the above space, without affecting (skewing) the ad.  Obviously I'm going to have some blank "space" in the ad as a result, and that is fine.  Any suggestions? 
I'm envisioning something like this:
Create a blank file (white background) with no picture, and set it to the exact dimensions using the resize feature.  (I'd be resizing blank/white space so no skewing issues to deal with.)
Then I would paste the image into the white, perfectly sized space.
Then I would proportionally resize the image to fit into the top-most space.
Then at the bottom of the ad, I would have some blank white space to deal with, but I can add some print information to utilize that space effectively.
Does this sound like the right way to go?  Any other suggestions?  I have a print deadline of tomorrow and I'm freaking out.  I bought Photoshop for this issue specifically and I have no idea what I'm doing...
Thank you in advance for your time.

I interpret your inquiry to be that:
You need to forward a file to your publisher 3.62" wide, and 4.5" high (portrait orientation)
Your text document has another aspect ratio and is in landscape orientation
That you will accept unoccupied space at the bottom of your document
Open Editor
Go to File>new>blank file, enter 3.62" W & 4.5" H, resolution 240px/in
Open the text document
Go to Select>all, then Edit>copy
Go back to the blank file created in step #2
Go to Edit>paste
Access the move tool, and using the corner handles to resize the text, and to move it to where you want it.
Commit
I think that this is the work-flow that you have in mind, but the fit will not be optimal. With all due respect, I suggest that you create the canvas as per step#2, then access the Horizontal type tool (T), and type the ad. You can select the font and color to suit, and the placement should be perfect.

  • How do I create an unordered list with three items and link to id's

    How do I create an ordered list with three items and linl to id's on my page

    Thanks, I guess what I was really asking, Is there a n option in the insert menu or somewhere where Dreamweaver does it for you.
    I am not clear on what you are wanting DW to do for you?  Is it that you want it to insert a three item unordered list?  No - there's no such function.  You would need to click in Design view where you want the list to go, click on the bulleted list icon on the Property inspector, and then enter the three items separated by carriage returns.  Then you'd have to link each item specifically.
    To enter the named anchors to element ID values, CS5 has no way to do this.  You'd have to enter those links manually.

    Search InDesign help for "change bullet characters" (without quotes,) and use the technique described there with the Zapf Dingbat font as suggested by Peter S.
    You can also use InDesign's glyphs panel (Window > Type & Tables > Glyphs) to scroll through all the character sets in all the fonts that InDesign has access to on your system, to look for check mark characters.
    After you have created a paragraph style that applies the customized check-mark-bullet that you want, every time you apply that paragraph style, the custom bullet appears. So, while it's a few steps to set up the style the first time, from then on it's automatic.
    If you really need a particular bullet that's not in any font you have, you'll need to search for fonts that have check mark characters and buy one or use a free one. Caution: free fonts aren't always created to the same strict standards that commercial fonts from reputable font foundries observe; free fonts sometimes cause problems when printing or exporting to PDF. You can search Google for "fonts with check mark" (without quotes.)

    ENDLOOP.
    Regards,

    for these internal tables you can pass some Identifier  for both tables.
    in header file : IT_HEAD
    IDENT   type  char10,
    BUKRS type BUKRS,
    BUDAT type BUDAT,  like
    in header file :IT_ITEM
    IDENT   type  char10,
    BUZEI type BUZEI,
    BSCHL type BSCHL,  like  in item data
    you need to fille the  IDENT value like
    IT_HEAD:
    10 -- DE01-- 10.20.2009
    20 -- CH01-- 10.20.2009
    IT_ITEM
    10 -- 1234-- KSCHL value  like all records
    10 -- 2345-- KSCHL value  like all records
    10 -- 6783-- KSCHL value  like all records
    20 -- 3452-- 1KSCHL value  like all records
    20 -- 4532-- KSCHL value  like all records
    20 -- 4535-- KSCHL value  like all records
    in smartform you need to create 2 tables.
    or create
    LOOP  with IT_HEAD
    table with IT_HEAD
    table with IT_ITEM
    and put the condition for each table in  DATA tab where condtion  like IDENT = IT_HEAD-IDENT
    in item table also INDENT = IT_ITEM-INDENT..

    Hello:
    To give a sensible answer, a little more information is needed.

  • How can i create a new user with only read rights ?

    How can i create a new user with only read rights ?

    You are asking about a Database User I hope.
    You can look into the Oracle 8i Documentation and find various privillages listed.
    In particular, you may find:
    Chapter 27 Privileges, Roles, and Security Policies
    an intresting chapter.
    You may want to do this with the various tools included with 8i - including the
    Oracle DBA Studio - expand the Security node and you can create USERS and ROLES.
    Or use SQL*Plus. To create a
    user / password named John / Smith, you would login to SQL*Plus as System/manager (or other) and type in:
    Create user John identified by Smith;
    Grant CONNECT to John;
    Grant SELECT ANY TABLE to John;
    commit;
    There is much more you can do
    depending on your needs.
    Please read the documentation.

  • How can i create a new item in the app "health"?

    how can i create a new item in the app "health"? I need a field for documentation of "Waist-to-height ratio", exactly for "circumference".
    It's a matter of common knowledge, that the Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) has more significance then the Body-Mass-Index (BMI).

    If you mean you want to change a color of a calendar category or create a new one, you cannot do that, what is pre-loaded is what you get and cannot be edited.

  • How can I create a zip file with LabVIEW?

    I would like to compress my data (ASCII format) to an archive.
    I use LVZlib.vi to compress and decompress data but I would like to be able to read the output file with a software archiver such as PowerArchiver/WinZIP.
    Someone knows how I can create a file compatible with zip or gz standard format, thanks !

    >> Yes but I have to install a special archiver (with ms-dos ommand line ability
    >> such as pkzip,arc,rar,arj...) on the computer where I install my LV application.
    Search for "gnu tools for windows" and get zip.exe, gzip.exe, bzip2.exe and others (even the source, if you like). These are about 50kB files that run in place (no installation) - easy to include in a distributed app. Oh, since I'm logged in I'll attach a couple, though I don't have the source on this machine).

    Can I open psd files created in Photoshop CC with lower version? Actually CS5.
    My home and office have different version each.

    Yes, PROVIDED that the file has not been saved with any layers containing any of the specific new features introduced starting with Photoshop CC and higher.
    If the file has been flattened or if it was flat to begin with there will be no problems.

  • How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?

    I'm seeking a little guidance -
    How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?
    The aim is to bring together video, design, images and writing in one place. A little like Born Presents, but very accessible and user friendly.
    I'm happy using InDesign but want to create interactive articles / magazines that have embeded video files as required. I've been looking at .SWF files but I've come unstuck.
    I want people to view the articles via a blog, ideally with them opening in a lightbox style viewer. It's not intended for tablet viewing and people should be able to view and interact with the files with little effort on their part.
    I think I know how to create these files within InDesign, but I'm not so hot on web design and I'm not sure how to host these online. Does this start coming into the realms of Flash?
    If anyone could point in the right direction I'd really appreciate it - Thank you in advance.

    PDF is one thing. Folios for DPS is another. There is a little bit of
    overlap but not much.
    The interactivity in the folio overlays panel is for DPS only.
