Adding "top" will make your message begin at the top of the cell and is most commonly used for longer messages. Play around with it, try top or middle and see what suits you! Your picture will center itself vertically if your messages takes up more room than the height of the picture. That's all there is to it! If you wish to save your postcard for another use, before you edit the text side of the postcard, click on File | Save As, be sure you select Mail (.eml) as the extension in the bottom drop down box, name your postcard and direct it to be saved in a handy place on your Hard Drive. Then the next time your ready to mail this postcard the work is done and all you have to do is edit the text (highlight and type where it says 'text area')

Enjoy sharing your photos and drawings with style :o)
