Instructions:
- Begin with a vertical (portrait) letter-sized document in a word-processing program. Adjust margins to 1” on the top and bottom. Create two columns and adjust the side margins as necessary. Type and format program text with each panel in a column.
- Do a test print to ensure inside text prints correctly. Once ready, print on strawberry cover weight paper.
- Create another vertical (portrait) letter-sized document in a word-processing program. Adjust the margins to match previous document. Design program cover text near right edge of document.
- Flip strawberry paper over and feed through your printer again to print cover on opposite side of inside text.
- (Consult your printer’s manual if you are unsure.) We strongly recommend you do a test print to ensure
- proper placement.*
- Trim 1” off top and bottom of strawberry paper to create an 8½” x 9” piece.
- Score strawberry paper in half vertically using a scoring tool. Fold, using a bone folder to create a crisp edge.
