It’s the season of graduations. Students stand on the precipice of a new beginning. This year, Madeline is one of them.
In the past, we’ve ordered graduation announcements from specialty stores. This year, we decided to try to print our own. First, we ordered blank two-fold graduation announcements. When they arrived, we admired the blank two-fold.
Then we drafted and scribbled and drafted and scribbled some more. Finally, the wording was just right. Our end result looked like this:
Then, it was time to format. I measured the card. I adjusted the size in Microsoft Word.
We decided navy lettering was better than black.
Then I pressed “Print”.
Then “Properties”.
Under the “Features” tab, I selected “Custom Size”. I renamed it and plugged in the dimensions. Then I clicked “Ok”.
Back on the “Features” tab, I selected my newly named size under “Scale to Paper Size”. I selected “Ok” again. On the main print page, I selected “Scale to paper size” and selected my newly named size again.
Then I clicked “Ok”. The end result was quite successful.
