Reviewing a Card
Many Hallmark Card Studio projects contain sample names, places, and other information. After youve personalized your card, be sure to check for the following before you print: Have you changed all the personalized examples to fit your situation? When you changed names, ages, and so forth, did you change other related words in the card? Example: If you changed Alec to Melanie on a childs birthday card, be sure you changed any male pronouns like he and him to she and her. If you wrote your own message, are your spelling and punctuation correct? Use the Hallmark Card Studio spell checker to verify your spelling.
Editing Tips
With Hallmark Card Studio cards, you can change a few words or the entire message. Here are a few suggestions to help you create that unique card for that special person. Personalize Use the persons name in the title, message, or closing or in all three places. Youll often be given a name example, so be sure to change the name to the one youd like to use. Dont forget to add your own name, especially in a closing or on the back panel. Customize You can also personalize your message by including something unique about the person. You can work a nickname, hobby, or favorite things easily into a particular message to make that special card extra special. Explore Browsing through other occasions, categories, or recipients may spark a new idea or produce a message thats almost perfect. A few word changes can turn an anniversary card into a wedding card for the one you love, or make a friendship card into the perfect message for your mother.

Overlaying Graphics
Hallmark Card Studio projects can consist of carefully arranged overlays of graphics, symbols, shapes, lines, and text blocks. Shapes especially are often placed behind all the other elements of a project to give it visual balance. The Bring To Front, Send To Back, Bring Forward One, and Send Back One commands on the Order submenu on the Object menu are designed to help control the objects in your project overlay. The Send To Back command places the selected object behind all other objects in the project. The Bring To Front command places the selected object in front of all other objects in the project. The Bring Forward One and Send Back One commands are useful when you have several overlapping objects placed on your project. These commands move the selected object forward or backward one level.
Object order is defined by the order in which the objects are originally placed on the project, not by the objects relationship to one another on the project. If you use the Send Back One command, for example, and it does not produce the expected results, it is probably because the objects you are trying to move were actually placed several levels apart from one another. You can create complex overlays using these four commands, and experiment with different layout possibilities. To change an objects order: 1 Select the object to change.
2 From the Object menu, choose Order>Bring To Front, Order>Send To Back, Order>Bring Forward One, or Order>Send Back One.
Note: If you ever lose a graphic while using these commands, it might be covered by a larger graphic or other object. Select the larger object and use Send To Back to put it in the background. Then the smaller object will appear again.

Centering Graphics
You can use centering commands to place one or more graphics at the vertical or horizontal center of a project page. You can center graphics vertically, horizontally, or both. If youve selected more than one graphic, centering is individually performed on all selected graphics.
Note: Centering multiple graphics can cause them to overlap, or can cause larger objects to cover smaller objects. For hints on displaying, selecting, and reordering overlapping or covered objects, see Working with Overlapping Graphics.

From the Object menu, choose Center>Vertically. From the Object menu, choose Center>Both.
Aligning Graphics
You use aligning commands to align multiple objects on a vertical or horizontal plane. When you choose an aligning command, the centers of all selected objects are aligned to the center of the first object you selected. Because the aligning commands work with multiple objects, at least two objects must be selected for the commands to become available. To align graphic objects: 1 2 Select two or more objects on the project page by pressing Shift while clicking each of the objects. From the Object menu, click Align Objects Horizontally. Objects are aligned on a horizontal plane, using the first selected objects center. or From the Object menu, click Align Objects Vertically. Objects are aligned on a vertical plane, using the first selected objects center.

Selecting Graphics
Multiple selection lets you perform commands simultaneously on separate frames. The frames are still treated as separate objects rather than as a group. Each frame still rotates, skews, and resizes around its own center, not the center of the group of selected frames. To select multiple frames: From the Edit menu, click Select All. or Press Shift while you select each object. or Drag the pointer around the objects you want (marquee selection).
Note: The starting point for marquee selection must be outside of any objects frame. If you have a background in your project, zoom out and start your marquee selection on the workspace.

To cancel the selection from individual connected frames: Press Shift while you click each object you want to clear.
Grouping Graphics
By grouping frames, you can perform commands simultaneously on multiple frames. The center of the group of connected frames is used as the center point around which objects are sized and rotated. This allows you to resize and rotate groups of objects while maintaining their relationship with one another. To group frames: 1 2 Select two or more objects on the workspace. (Press Shift while you click each object you want to select, or press Ctrl+A to select all objects.) Click the Group Objects button. or From the Object menu, choose Arrange>Group.
