instructions to make Xmas cards with MS Word
A very bizarre way to do this. You can use page/column breaks instead of
filling a space with useless empty paragraphs. You can insert images In Line With Text instead of anchored to a paragraph, but even if you float the graphic, if your wrapping is set to Square, the text will not overwrite it. For text that you want to overwrite graphics, you can use text boxes (No Line, No Fill) for inline graphics, or you can insert text, properly formatted with Space Before/After with the graphic set to Behind Text. -- Suzanne S.

With great respect for those who have offered suggestions - Save yourself a
lot of grief, aggravation & frustration... Google for greeting card software (I just checked Amazon.com & got over 170 hits) which you can get for as little as $10. *Any* of it will give you better results with less effort. I use this outfit's Mac version & it works like a charm: http://www.novadevelopment.com/Produ...w/default.aspx Current version (6.0) is $49.95, you can get earlier versions for as little as $28.

instructions to make Xmas cards with MS Word
The problem with that is that what's left say stuff like "You've been like a
Mother to me". NOT a good card to hand to your wife. My husband and I got our cards for each other last night. I told him I didn't want to see a "You've been like a Wife to me card". He has a goofy streak at time and just might be weird enough to do something like that. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...
