For the "Write Your Own" PDF Free

advantage of all of the fonts, font sizes, font colors, and to be able
to insert your own clipart or photos!

- Mark the top and bottom, left and
right margins (as shown to the left).
- Open a blank Word document and
adjust the Page Setup margin settings for the margins you just
measured.

that you can re-use it as often as you wish).
