Problem:

Teachers, family and friends appreciate “gifts from the heart.” Creating personalized note paper for gifts or fundraisers is easy and fun.

1. Open new document (AppleWorks Draw or Microsoft Word)
2. Set all margins to .5 (AppleWorks: go to Format, click on Document).
3. Go to Format and click on Show Rulers, if not showing.
4. Zoom in to 50%.
5. You will be making 4 notes per page, go to Page setup or Print setup to make sure you are on portrait setting.
6. Click on line tool and draw vertical line on 3 3/4” from top to bottom of page. Click on line tool and draw horizontal line from 5 1/4” from side to side of the page. (Delete these guidelines before printing.)
7. Insert a clip art image, or draw an original picture.
8. Use handles on picture to position and shrink to an approipriate size.
9. Select the Font for the text.
10. Set an appropriate size (I chose 18).
11. Select the Text Color for the text.
12. Click on Text Tool, and type the text. (In Microsoft Word. create a new text frame.).
13. Use handles to position the text.
14. Group the text and the image. (Hold down the shift key and click on the picture and the text, so handles appear on each item.) (AppleWorks: go to Arrange, click on Group; Microsoft Word: select the draw arrow in the draw toolbox and select Arrange, group)
15. After you have one note the way you want it, go to Edit and click on Copy.
16. Now you should have a duplicate just to the right of the original, click and drag to where you want to position and then repeat the duplication process 2 more times.
