377790 2005-08-03 07:32:00 How was what done?

I would imagine the picture was taken with a camera....and the card was delivered by a mail-person.....

Muhahahah.

If you refer to making the card?

Insert piece of card into printer,select photo,press print......

377791 2005-08-03 09:48:00 Hi Cicero. If it was a folded A4, it was probably done in Word or Publisher. Either permit the creation of folded cards, with graphics and/or text on any of the four exposed pages. If it wasn't folded A4 - ignore this..... :eek: Scouse (83)

377794 2005-08-03 22:32:00 Hi Cicero. Quick Greetings Card 101 session. Blank page. Consider it as four sectors. Can use a two by two table if you like. The top two sectors' contents have to be prepared upside down and when folded they will be pages one and four (or front and back). I regularly use text and a graphic on both. Word doesn't normally like upside down text, so use Insert > WordArt to prepare your text. Make sure that its Text Wrap = Square (the resize handles are white instead of black). Click on the small green handle at the top and skew the whole thing around 180 degrees so that the writing appears upside down. Similar with any graphics on pages one and two. If you are going to make a few, consider getting 100 gsm paper instead of the standard 80 gsm. Really white and makes a nice effect. :cool: Scouse (83)
377795 2005-08-03 23:59:00 While we are on the topic of greeting cards, what are everyone's prefrences for "instant" greeting card programs? My parents had a really old copy of microsoft greetings, but the CDs died last year & they haven't been satasfied by any of the other programs they have tried (including a newer version of Microsoft greetings they found at the warehouse. I think it was 2002). Greven (91)

I share your sense of wonderment also, as I doubt that the camera was commonplace (or even invented) when you were "in your youth"?

Not so,we had a number of pin hole cameras.
