Creating Borders

zulubabe

I'm trying to create my own birthday invitations but when it comes to creating a border with images I have (just normal black stars) I'm having difficulties as I'm trying to match them up on the page but it isn't working out right - is there any way to automatically create a border? I unfortunately don't have photoshop or office only have freeware on my pc.

Please help

Thanks
Zulu

I can't remember which website i got this off but is works

I am probably doing you no favours by telling you this but Word has a little-known feature that lets you make your letters look really yucky (or delightful, depending on your point of view...). You can, for instance, surround your carefully crafted words with little ice-cream cones, Christmas trees, Cherries or cream cakes.Please don’t do it, or at least do not send any disastrously decorated documents in my direction but if you want to know how it’s done, purely out of academic interest, then go to Format > Borders and Shading and click the Page Border tab. At the bottom of the dialogue box there’s a drop-down menu labeled simply ‘Art’ click the down-arrow and you’ll see what’s available in all of its ghastliness. Incidentally, I’m sure you know this but you’ll only see the border when Word is in Page or Pint Layout View

Have a look at some of the free DTP programs:

They should be able to do what you want.

Or the Word equivalent in Open Office:
