2) I have some A4 card that I am going to cut in half width ways (so it's A5?) then fold into a card. Is this an A6 card? Do I need A6 envelopes?

You will need C6 size envelopes for A6 cards as these give a little bit of extra room to fit the card inside

I am looking for some computer help!
Tranmererovers very kindly sent me bagtoppers which she had made for reindeer poop, and I am trying to do something similar for snowman poop. The way she had created the toppers, the poem appears upside down on the page, so that when you print it and fold it in half, you have the picture and title on the front and the poem on the back ( I hope that this makes sense!) My question is, how do I make the poem appear upside down - I've tried all the options on the keyboard I can think of without success!

Can someone please point me in the right direction on a couple of things?!?

1) I want to buy a 2" scalloped square, 2" scalloped circle, 1.5" plain square & 1.5" plain circle punch. Where can I find these? I'm struggling to get them on ebay and don't know where else to look

2) I have some A4 card that I am going to cut in half width ways (so it's A5?) then fold into a card. Is this an A6 card? Do I need A6 envelopes?

3) What size bags are best for doing the poop bags?! Was thinking I could buy the bigger bags then cut in half so I get double the amount and seal on a heat sealer so they don't need to be self adhesive.


Thanks in advance for you help everyone!

My only thought is open original document and got to Save As, call it Snowman Poop or whatever to differentiate it from the original document.
Go to new snowman poop document and see if you have access to amend the writing on said document and use that as a new template.

Hope it works, me and 'puters don't go well together most of the time

Thanks Bitsy Beans, but no use! I had high hopes of your suggestion, but although it let me do that,and the poem was right, when I then tried to amend the picture and the title, they were upside down too!
Anyone else any ideas?

Sorry that was my best suggestion.

what document type is the file?

kayl

not sure, but I think it is pdf

Double_Trouble

Not a very technical way to do it and I know I have done it before by saving the bit I wanted as a picture and rotating it but I can't remember how.

But if you print out the picture and title bit as a word document but place it half way down the page so the first half of the card is blank and then do the poem as a different word document again half way down the page and put your card in the other way round in the printer you will have them reading opposite HTH
