If you're into making elaborate greeting cards in Word, consider this formatting tip. Use section breaks to divide the greeting card and not just the hard page breaks you get by pressing Ctrl+Enter. You'll get more flexibility when formatting. (A section is basically an area in your document whose page formatting is independent of the rest of your document.)
Also, watch out for fancy, thick paper. It tends to jam most laser printers. (If your laser printer has a single-sheet feed and a pass-through slot out the back, printing on thick paper may work.) Greeting-card stock is difficult as all heck to get through an inkjet printer, too! To figure out the types of paper that your printer can handle, read the printer's instruction manual or check the manufacturer's Web site for information
