Instructions for Downloading and Personalizing Invitation

on Microsoft Word or Microsoft Publisher

You will need:

Heavy white paper 8½” x 11”) You will get better quality images if you use paper designed for printing invitations (available at office supply stores).
Coordinating envelopes - test invitation first to see what size you prefer

1. Click on the Greek Invitation link to access the invitation image.

2. 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.

3. Open a blank Word document.

4. 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.

5. Click on Insert, Picture, From File. Find where you stored the invitation image and click on it to insert.

6. Once it is inserted into your Word document, click on the image and drag the corners of the image to resize the image. Size it to fit into a 5” x 7” envelope, or whatever envelope size you choose.

7. From the Drawing menu, open a text box. Position it over the personalized information you wish to change. Set the font to Imprint MT Shadow at whatever size is appropriate for the size invitation you have chosen. (If your computer does not have this 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.

8. Save the document.

9. 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.

10. Decide if you like the placement. If not, go back and adjust it by resizing or moving the image.

11. If it looks OK, print it on a sheet of heavy white paper. Trim to appropriate size.

12. For the menu, you will need to position the Greek mythological figure on one page in the upper right quadrant of the page. Position the information about the figure in the upper left quadrant of the second page, and the menu in the upper right quadrant of the second page. When you copy these two pages back-to-back, you will have a folding card with the figure drawing on the front and the information and menu on the inside.
