Default Need help with greeting card?

Altho some may laugh at your suggestion, I think it's excellent. Instead of
fussing with what we think it needs to look like and then finding out we're
wrong, your method is a once-and-done deal. :-)

Fold a piece of paper to provide the layout you require. Draw on it the
positions of the text and image. Open out the paper and put borderless
text boxes with their layout property set to in front of text on screen
(page setup probably in landscape mode) to match what you see on the
paper. Put your graphic and text in the appropriate boxes.

I am not asking how to do the art, just how to format it so it prints
out the way I want it too. I have an image, I have text, I just
can't figure out exactly how to format it so that the image covers
the top 1/2 of the front of the page, and the bottom 1/2 of the back
of the page?

Home made greetings cards if you don't have the required amount of
artistic flair (and you don't or you wouldn't be asking the
question) simply make you appear a cheapskate. Go to your local card
shop and buy one!

If there is a special reason why you need to produce your own card
eg where I live Mother's Day cards are not available and at 91 my
mother likes to receive a card, then Publisher has a wide range of
card templates, from which you can cobble something acceptable.
Print on photo paper.

I am trying to make a single fold greeting card. I have an image to
put on the front, and want to add text, and stretch the image to
about half the page (to the fold in the center). Is there a basic
template or wizard that will help me add and/or edit my own images,
and texts?
