    Thank you for getting straight to the point. So many videos people start off begging for likes/subscribes. You made this look very simple, as it should be.

    • @dontpanic1982
      @dontpanic1982 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Can't we just create a 2-page document and print with duplex enabled? I think that would be easier.

    Thanks good job - enter down on the second column and keep going till into page two, then enter again until into second column of page two to enter right side inside message - then use printer setting “two sided print - flip on short edge” and can print on both sides at once and everything comes out in correct place thanks again

    Excellent! You speak slowly succinctly, and with an American accent! I have been on computers for longer than many people have been alive, and have always struggled with how to make greeting cards. The amount of paper and ink I wasted would have paid for someone's college education! A head slapping moment came when you showed the formatting trick was to use two columns. Gawd!

    • @Mcgturtle3

    Thank you Thank you Thank you!! I've been trying to make cards but could never figure out how to just print on one side of the paper. Your instructions were so clear and worked perfectly. Bless you!

    @lisacormier2237 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    This info is incredibly useful and your instructions actually make sense. You are very articulate and your voice is calming, unlike the in your face videos. And it is nice that you are not begging people to subscribe and ring the bell. Thank you.

  • @patti67
    @patti67 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video, to the point video. Also, folks making cards may want to add “Created with love by Patti” or something like that customized to your name obviously to appear on the bottom back of the card. Just a thought. Thanks for the great video! (I love that this was made ten years ago, before everyone was an expert and had a channel lol) Trustworthy and still relevant.

    I am so lost and you seem to be such a great teacher. Do I need to buy windows word or anything? I have a Dell that used to be Vista but my wife upgraded it somehow to Windows 7. She knows less than I do on most stuff on the computer lol. I am so tired of not knowing how to do anything on the computer Thank-you for taking the time to show an old combat wounded, disabled Viet Nam Vet I can do more than just watch t.v. or look outside. God bless you young man. Jesus loves you.

    @annabellasamuel5035 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good Day. I must say thank you for the information. I love the scenery it looks refreshing. One thing puzzled me which I think you should have showed us was "Space Down dropping line by line way to the bottom until the cursor lands at the top corner on right side of page"

    Why didn't you just do a column break to get to the next page please, instead of using the Enter key? Can't this be completed by doing a double sized print. I am sure I have done that but cannot recall how. Love your very easy to follow utube.
