Making a birthday greeting
To create a greeting, you will need to enter a name and birth date in the Recipient Window. Next, look at the name of the print template currently selected. You will see the template name in a yellow field below a heading Select-A-Card-Content. To change print templates, click on the Certificate Templates button located in the next to the Select-A-Card-Content area on the main screen. If you are printing onto greeting forms that have lines and heading pre-printed on the paper, you use the print template titled News. All other print templates print the category headings.

Date format: 06/15/1958 - is - June 15th 1958.

Birthday Milestone
You can send the same person a birthday greeting year after year and not repeat the same information using the

The Birthday Milestone feature allows you to change the focus away from the day someone was born and focuses the greeting on when they turned 5 or 10 or 16 or 18 or 20 years old. Simply click the Birthday Milestone button and select a milestone option. The program automatically adjusts the content to the selected milestone, and titles the greeting -- Turning back the clock to your (milestone choice) birthday.

content editor option
The content editor window displays the information that will print. You can also preview printed information by clicking the Print Preview button.

Message option
Add a message by clicking the Message button. The message will repeat on all greeting until deleted or changed. The maximum message length is 3 lines. The message alignment and font can be changed using the Design option.

Design option
