Click where you would like to place the text box, and drag to the size you need. To draw a text box, click Insert > Text > Text Box > Draw Text Box. Right now it is important to get everything onto the offering envelope approximately where your want it.
If you would like to use separate text boxes for every word, you can use the align tool to make sure they line up nicely. If you plan to have an information form on your envelope, you may either use a separate box for each word (date, name, address), or use one box, and use the tab and enter to space the words appropriately within the text box. Instead use a separate text box for every area you want to place text. It will cause you a lot of problems, and a lot of time fixing it. If you do this, any change you make to the text (font, size, or spacing) will shift everything around. When adding text to your envelope, do not use the space bar, enter, or tab to get the I-beam where you want to input text. You can even put text on top of it and it will not move. By doing this, your image/logo will not get moved around when text is placed near it. Select Behind Text, then click Fix position on page. When the image or logo is selected, a Layout Options tab will appear to the right of the object. Be sure to hold down shift while you drag, this will keep your image proportional. Insert > Illustrations > Pictures. If you need to resize it, do this by clicking and dragging the corner. If you have a church logo, or other artwork you would like to use, import it.
Tip: The keyboard shortcut for save is Ctrl+s. Save your envelope somewhere you will easily find it again, and save it often while you are making changes. If something happens to your computer while you are working on your offering envelope, you certainly don’t want to lose all that time you put into it. Layout > Orientation > Portrait or LandscapeĤ. The more common orientation for offering envelopes is horizontal (landscape). This makes them easier to read while they are in the pew rack. Some churches have offering envelopes with a vertical (portrait) design. Layout > Page Setup > Margins > Custom Margins 25″ on all sides will usually work for most printers. A common envelope size used for offering envelopes is the 6 3/4 which measures 6.5″ x 3.625″.īy default, the margins are 1″, but that wastes a lot of space on the already small print area. To change the size, click More paper sizes…, and enter the dimensions of the envelope. Next, change the size of the document to the size of the offering envelopes you will be using.
