Re: [Blind-Computing] making greeting cards using microsoft word
I believe you could do this by modifying the page orientation to landscape and then setting the margins accordingly. For example, suppose you are using a standard letter size (8.5 × 11) sheet of paper: 1) Open the FILE menu and select the PAGE SETUP item. 2) In the MARGINS tab minimally set the left margin to some value beyond 5.5 - possibly 6.5 (be careful to allow some printing space on the right side of the page). a: Remember you'll be folding this sheet of paper in half and printing on only the right side of both pages (11 ÷ 2). b: You'll probably want to adjust the right margin as well to equal the true left margin size, setting the left margin to 6.5 will render a true printing margin of 1 on the side where printing occurs; maybe set the right margin to 1 so your printed pages will be horizontally centered. c: you may likewise want to adjust the top and bottom margins so you'll have a nicely centered printed page. 3) Tab to the PAPER SIZE dialog and make certain the Landmark option (not PORTRAIT) is selected. 4) You will likely want to go to the LAYOUT dialog to set the VERTICAL ALIGNMENT to centered. 5) You may want to save this blank Greeting Card as a .DOT (Document Template) file. Now remember that when placing text and objects in this Greeting Card that you'll have only one half of the sheet of paper on each side for printing material. When the print is run, if things were set up correctly, you should be able to fold the paper in half (like a greeting card) and the front page and the right side of the inside should have anything on them. Actually, I know this works because I've done it.

Re: [Blind-Computing] making greeting cards using microsoft word
I've used MS-Word to make greeting cards before. I've use regular printer paper , or you can get other paper that is 8.5x11. I go into the page settings and change the following: Margins to .5 or .25 Multiple pages to book fold. Changing the paper orientation will depend if you want the fold of the card to be on top or on the left. Unfortunately, it has been so long since I've done this, I cannot remember If landscape gives you the fold on the left side, or on top. You will have to experiment. As I make the card, I treat page 1 as the front of the card, page 2 as the left page of the inside of the card, page 3 as the right side of the inside of the card, and page 4 as the back of the card. When you go to print, Word will take care of printing the pages in the correct order. If you want the card to be made of one piece of paper, you will need to figure out what direction to put the paper back into the printer to print the other side. Sometimes I just print on 2 sheets, and some how attach the pages together so that the blank sides are facing each other, and the writing is facing out. I've used colored tape around the edges to hold the pages together, placed yarn or ribbon threaded through various patterns of holes around the edges, or tied around the fold of the pages or just tied in a bow in 2 or four corners of the card. A few dots of glue might work also.
