Word Templates For Wedding Invites

Hi Folks

Not sure if this is the right place, but hopefully it will be.

I'm trying to type wording straight onto the front of some wedding invitations, some square ones which measure 135mm and some A6 ones.

However, when I try to print off the wording on the square ones, it's everywhere but on the centre front! I've tried altering the page layout etc, and it's driving me mad now, to be honest :rotfl:

I've also tried googling for templates on Google but can't find ones that give me the front cover, only the inside templates?

Can someone please help!!

Thanks

Sal

    Assuming you have Word as part of MS Office, do you have Publisher - that has quite a lot of stock templates, and may be better for what you want to do.

    Try this:

    If you have a legal version of Office, the codes for that may extend the trial beyond 60 days !

    Have you set the page size correctly under page layout, you will probably need to do it as a custom size. Once that is done and laid out correctly, the next challenge is to find the correct position/orientation to feed the paper into the printer. Probably easiest to test with a sheet of A4 first, and see where it prints - then you should hopefully be able figure out how to position the square paper correctly.

    Why not just use someone like Vistaprint for invitations? I'd never use an Office product.
