How to Make a Photo Greeting Card in Microsoft Word

1. Start Word. Click the 'File' tab and select 'New.' Click the 'Cards' button on the 'Available Templates' screen. Double-click one of the occasion card templates. Word doesn't have a template for photo greeting cards, but you'll be able to swap out the template image for your own photograph. Choose a template similar to the one you'd like for your card. After a few moments, the card opens in a new Word window.
2. Click the placeholder picture on the card's cover. Press the 'Delete' key. Repeat if there are multiple pieces of clip art or template images.
3. Click the 'Insert' menu at the top of the screen. Click 'Picture.' Browse to the photo to use for the card and double-click to add it. Drag it into place on the cover. To re-size the picture, press and hold down the 'Shift' key, click the image and drag one of the photo's corners in towards the middle to shrink it. It isn't advisable to enlarge a picture, that can distort it.
4. Highlight any placeholder text or greeting on the front of the card and type over it with your own, or leave the greeting as is if it fits your occasion.
5. Highlight placeholder text on the inside of the card. Type over the text. Add additional text such as the recipient and sender's names and a personal wish or greeting, such as something connected to the photo on the front.
6. Click the 'File' tab. Select 'Save As.' Type a name for the card file and click the 'Save' button.
