Instructions for
Downloading and Personalizing Invitation
on Microsoft Word
or Microsoft Publisher
You will need:
-
Heavy white paper
8˝” x 11” (2 invitations per sheet - you will get better quality images
if you use paper designed for printing invitations, available at
office supply stores.)
-
Coordinating
envelopes 4˝” x 6”
-
Click on the
After-Shopping Invitation link to access the invitation image.
-
As you cursor
over the image, a small rectangular box with four icons should
appear. As you cursor over the first icon, it should say “save this
image”. Click on the icon to save the image as a picture.
-
Open a blank
Word document.
-
Click on File,
Page Set-up. Set the top, bottom, right and left margins to 0. You
will get a message that says that the margins are set outside the
printable area of the page. Click on Ignore.
-
Click on
Insert, Picture, From File. Find where you stored the invitation
image and click on it to insert.
-
Once it is
inserted into your Word document, click on the image and drag the
corners of the image to the edges of the page.
-
From the
Drawing menu, open a text box. Position it over the personalized
information you wish to change. Set the font to Jokerman 16 point.
(If your computer does not have the Jokerman font, choose another
font that complements the invitation) Choose a centered format (as
opposed to justified right or left). Type in your personalized
information. If there is a line around your text box, go to the
Line icon (usually indicated by a paintbrush) on the Drawing menu.
Choose No Line.
-
Save the
document.
-
Print a test
copy. You will get another message telling you the margins are set
outside the printable area and asking if you want to continue.
Click on Yes.
-
Fold your test
document vertically and horizontally to decide if you like the
placement. If not, go back and adjust it by resizing or moving the
image.
-
If it looks
OK, print it on one side of a sheet of heavy white paper. Print it
again on the back of the same sheet. You now have two invitations
printed front to back. Trim to an appropriate size.
