Default how do i create a santa list?

I simply want to create a list of names, in a very large font (2 names per
sheet of paper) to post on a door. Do I need to use text boxes, or simply
list them in word?

Are you asking how to have only two names per sheets of paper?

If so, use page breaks and a large font.

Here's one thought - Assuming a standard 8.5x11 page Top & Bottom 1"
margins;

1- In a new blank doc create a 1 Column, 2 Row Table
2- Go to TableSelectTable
3- Go to TableTable Properties - Rows tab, click the box for Specify Height
and enter the height as 4.25 & remove the check for "Allow to break across
pages"
4- Click the Cell tab & select Center for Vertical Alignment, then click OK

As you fininsh typing the first name just press the Tab key to go to the
next cell. After you type the second name, press Tab again which will create
a new cell on a new page... just keep pressing Tab after each name.
Alternatively you could specify the number of rows based on however may
names there are when you first create the table.

To make any formatting changes - including Font & Font Size - select the
whole table again and make all changes at once rather than working from cell
to cell. You could also set the formatting options first if you prefer, and
fine-tune the above specs to your own preference.

Dear Santa,

Please put me down for a faster computer. It doesn't have to be the biggest,
baddest one in town. Maybe a mid-range system with some room for upgrades.
Don't worry about the software - I'll supply that.

P.S. Regardless of what you may have heard, I have been a very good girl all
year.
