I'm experimenting in creating a Card.
Card size is 6 7/8 X 10

Folded down across the middle becoming a 6 7/8 X 5 document.

I'm trying to create the inside greeting so it will be on the BOTTOM half of
the card when a person opens it..

I set up the document size as 6 7/8 X 10 and then keyed in the greeting in
the 5" to 10" area (bottom half.)
Word always prints the greeting in the TOP HALF rather than the BOTTOM HALF!

When I look at Print Preview it looks correct.

Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks,
Doug McNeill

I'm not sure what's happening, but Word doesn't always handle custom sizes
well. If you can get it to handle this size at all, you could set up this
document as "2 pages per sheet" (on the Margins tab of Page Setup), choosing
Portrait orientation, which gives you two landscape pages per sheet, then
use page 2 (with appropriate margins) for your greeting, leaving page 1
blank.

Thanks Suzanne,
I'm going to have to read this again. You're 'way ahead of me - as usual!

Using "2 pages per sheet" just handles the subdivision of the page for you.
You ignore the first "page" (which is the top of your card) and use the
second one (bottom half).
