Welcome and Thank You for
purchasing Zapco Products!
Zapco is excited about our online templates. We hope
the following information will be helpful to you as you
prepare your project.
Overview
Our templates are prepared as a Microsoft Word document.
This should allow you to make minor setup changes if needed.
Any adjustments are usually due to the different printers
used. When you start the printing process, you may receive
the following message: “The margins of section 1
are set outside the printable area of the page. Do you
want to continue?” You then have the option of choosing
Yes or No – just choose Yes and your printing process
should continue without further interruption.
Printing Upside-down Text
Some printing projects require text to be printed both
rightside-up and upside-down on the same paper. This procedure
is not possible in Word. There are several options you
can try to achieve the upside-down printing.
- The easiest solution is to simply put your paper
through the printer twice, once for the rightside-up
text and once for the upside-down text. Of course, you
would have to rotate the paper by 180 degrees for each
printing pass.
- If the information you have to print upside down
is short, you could use WordArt. Your text is actually
saved in your document as a graphics object, which Word
allows you to rotate freely. The drawback with this
option is the WordArt does not give you the range of
text control that Word does, and it is not meant to
be used with large selections of text.
- Another option is to create your text in a different
application (example: create a fully rotated text object
using PowerPoint) and then insert it into the template
as an object.
- Finally, if you have access to a graphics program,
such as Paint Shop Pro, you could also try these steps:
1. Within Word, type and format your text as you want
it.
2. Select the text you want to be upside down.
3. Press CTRL+C to copy the text to the Clipboard.
4. Switch to Paint Shop Pro and press CTRL+V. The Meta
Picture Import dialog box appears.
5. Click on OK. Your text now appears as a graphic image
within PSP.
6. Press CTRL+R to display the Rotate dialog box.
7. In the dialog box, choose 180.
8. Click on OK. Your text is now upside down.
9. Press CTRL+C. This copies the graphic image back
to the Clipboard.
10. Switch to the Word Template and press CTRL+V. The
graphic image (which is your text) appears in the Template.
Now you can position your upside-down text. Of course,
if you want to make changes to the upside-down text,
you will have to redo all these steps. This is because
the upside-down text is not really text, but a graphic
image. These same general steps will work with most
other graphics programs (such as Paint).
