[Elecraft] QSLs

[Edward R Cole]

First off, my thanks for all the suggestions from several people.

Here is how I make my QSL's:
1. The photo is opened with Paint (it is found by clicking "START" 
then clicking "ALL PROGRAMS" and a dialog window opens which I click 
accessories and click Paint.
2. I use text from Paint to add lettering on the image; be sure to 
click transparent text else the test window will produce a white 
rectangle within which the test is inserted.  Word Art is also handy.
3. Once I have the photos with added text set up I save the file.
4. Next I open MSWord and insert the photo, sizing it so four images 
fit a 11-1/2 by 8 inch page; select Landscape format for this.  You 
just insert the image four times resizing to fit after each one is open.
5. I use MSWord to produce the back side text and save it under a 
different file name.
6.Then I use a plain sheet of paper to test print the cards; you may 
need to move the images on the MSWord document in order to align well 
for using 4 segment card stock.
7. One side of the card is printed using the image file; then I open 
the text side and print the backside of the cards
8. Take note of how to insert the unprinted card stock so you print 
on the blank side and not on the side that was already printed.
9. Separate the individual cards using the perforated lines on the card stock.

Hopefully you have a little art sense for layout of your cards.
