how to make a template for a quarter fold card

HI Mickey,

Check File > New File from Template Chooser to see if your version of Pages offers any card templates. This one started out as a two up 'single fold' card on US letter in landscape orientation.

The template included three pages. Page 1 was the outside, Page 2 the inside, and the third was a blank page. Only Page 1 was included in the initial document.

I started by inserting an Inside page, containing two of the large text box shown below.

Back on Page 1, I selected one image and flipped it vertically then horizontally, then repeated that procedure with the Text Box containing "Thank You".

I realigned the two objects, then moved both to the inside page, placing the pair in the upper left corner.

On the inside page, I removed the text from the box on the left, and replaced it with "Inside Left," a label to mark the position of this section in the final card.

I added a text box, entered "Back," flipped it vertically then horizontally, and dragged it to the position shown.

Save the result as a template.

Using the same document, I went File > Page Setup, and changed orientation from Landscape to Portrait.

Drag the blue guides to the positions shown, then reshape the elements to fit the new space.

Save the result as a template (with a different name than the version saved above).

Regards,

Barry

PS: Done using Pages '09.

It's just a piece of paper.

Open an example, or sketch one up, unfold it and do what you see.
