How do I... Create holiday cards in Microsoft Word?
Page one
Click Okay and you're set to go.
Understanding the layoutThe card will be made up of four pages. Page one is the left-side interior. This page is often left blank in store-bought cards. Feel free to embellish it any way you wish, but keep in mind that text may not be noticed if it's on this page.
Page two in Word will print as the right-side interior. This is where your message should go. Page three will print as the outside back cover. This is a great place to put a personalized embellishment, usually done at the bottom where a printer's stamp would be. Page four will print as the front cover of the card - this is a good place for a graphic and card title.
Design the card
For added interest, you can decorate page one any way you like. If you are printing at home, consider leaving the background white and using graphics and font styles and color to add interest -- you'll save quite a lot on printing if you don't fill in the background. If you wish to leave page one entirely blank, simply insert a hard page break by hitting [Ctrl] [Enter]. This will send you straight to page two -- the interior, right-side page.
