Wish list is for anyone. They fill it out, give it back to me addressed to a family member or friend and I mail it when they tell me. The family member or friend calls me to place the order. At this time of year I put them in all guest folders and talk about them when I go over the folder.
the cool thig about these postcards is since they are in Word you can change up the wording to suit your needs.

Save it to your computer.
go to the file and dbl click on it. This will open it in a picture viewing mode. At the botom there are a bunch of icons. Click the on that looks like a printer. This should open the windows picture printing wizzard.
click on the itwm you want to print, click next.
you can set your preferences and type of paper, click next.
scroll down till you see the print 4 to a page option. Click on it.
Now this is important..... Where it says # of time to use each picture you must put at at least 4 to get 4 on one page.
I have not done it with this item to see how it comes out because I am not hooked up to my printer right now but it is worth a try.

That said, what y'all are doing seems MUCH easier. Thanks for the tip!
Historical Note: TPC dropped T&C when they first picked up Merrill. The product lines were so different, I (and a lot of consultants) couldn't understand why. Nancy was more "country", T&C was more "casual professional", and Merrill is very "glossy". I would love it if we had those options again!
