Hi all

I want to print some postcards using Word 2003.
How do I set this up for entering text and pictures?

Thanks

Thanks for that but its far too complicated.
All I want to do is set up Word 2003 so i can type in some text in the left
half of the postcard or 6x4 glossy paper.
I have labels already to stick onto the right hand side of the paper and I
can turn the paper over to print a picture on the other side.
it's just getting the text onto the 6x4 paper.

So what problem are you having typing text onto the 4" x 6" page? Just
adjust the page settings to include a LARGE right margin to limit how far
the text traverses before it automatically wraps to the next line. (Or if
you need to type the other side of the page, adjust the left margin so.)

Okay got it set up nice now, thank you!

One last question:
How do I get to print out the background pattern onto the paper, it's just
printing the text with a white background.

Thank you.
