To change the font style, first save the project to your desktop. The project will be saved with a .dot file extension. Locate the file on your desktop and open it in your MS Word program.

Are there instructions available for the various instant-print projects?

All of the projects have instructions included as the first page of the project, on the template page itself, or in a separate document. When printing your project, make sure you set your printer settings to print from page 2 (or the page indicated in the step-by-step instructions) if the first page of the project is instructions only, otherwise you will print the instructions as well as the project you just created.

What papers should I use for the instant-print projects featured?

All of the projects have paper suggestions listed in the instructions. A few projects don't have instruction pages (such as the tips and guides in the Holidays section); print those on HP Premium Inkjet Paper for best results. Before you print, make sure to select "Best" print quality in your print dialog window, and adjust your print settings for the type of paper you are using. To do this, just click "File" on your toolbar and then "Print". Then click "Paper Type/Quality" or similar wording to access the quality and paper type settings. If this doesn't work, consult your printer manual for help with your printer driver software.
