Project

Making a quick card in any word processing program:

1) Insert a table 2 rows by 2 cells.

2) Put text on the Lower Right cell, this is the inside of the card.

3) Put graphics or text in the Upper Left cell, this is the cover of the card.

4) Flip the orientation of the graphic or text UPSIDE DOWN in the Upper Left cell, otherwise it will be upside down when folded.

5) Print then fold the paper along the center vertically.

6) Fold the paper along the center horizontally.
