Creating Framed Stationery
Making Framed Stationery has endless possibilities and it's very easy to do. (NO HTML coding needed thanks to WikMail) Put on your creative hat and see how much fun you can have with this great feature of the Stationery Creator. Below are some basic instructions to help you get started. I have found that creating my graphic in Paint Shop Pro first, is not only easier, but gives you more creative avenues. These were written rather quickly, but I believe I've covered the most important steps.
Below is the graphic I created in Paint Shop Pro. I saved the graphic on my desktop for ease of locating it later, and made note of the dimensions (width and height). Feel free to right click and save it to your computer to use with this tutorial.

Open Stationery Creator. In the General Section, I named my letter, selected the colors I wanted for my scrollbars, and also filled in what I wanted to use as my main background. (Feel free to save the background image to your computer) Make sure you select "Tiled" so your background will tile properly. (see below)
Move on to the Message Area Section. (see below) Place the number 3 in the Width box under Message border. This is going to place a black border on your page. DO NOT BE ALARMED...we will get rid of this later. The purpose of this is to aid you in aligning your text within your graphic. Select your font and font color. Then select Extra Properties.
