Select it to highlight it and Click OK to open it in Outlook Express.

Now you should have the Postcard Template loaded and ready to format. There are many options when formating this template. You may choose to leave it plain with no visible borders, or you may like to dress it up using borders in colors of your choice to match your image etc. We will cover these options as we go along. Let's get started!

You need to have your Outlook Express set up so that you can view the 3 editing tabs at the bottom of your New Message window (Edit, Source, Preview) to make the adjustments to your Template. If your not seeing these tabs at the bottom of your window click on View up top and select Source Edit as shown.

To begin, highlight the Image Here text and push Backspace one time to erase my text, this is the place that marks your image position in your postcard.

Now don't move the blinking cursor position and go up top and click on Insert | Picture, you will get a popup box that will allow you to browse to the location of your picture on your Hard Drive.

Click Browse and navigate to the folder where your image is located and select your picture.

Now you should be seeing the contents of the folder where your image is stored, so click on it to select it and Push Open to load it to the pop up box to be inserted into your postcard.

Your popup box returns, push OK and the image will be inserted into your postcard.
