I am making invitations for daughters birthday. I don't want to use any
templates because I want to add my own photos, text, etc. I would like to
make them 2-fold. Where do I start? I would like to use a heavier paper and
fold in half. how do I set up my page for this? how do I know how to put the
paper in, etc. I've seen cards made from 8.5x11 paper, which I would be
willing to use if the other will be too difficult, but I wanted to try it the
other way. What's a standard card-sized paper and how do I set my page up so
that I can design it? I want something on the front and then I want to be
able to use the entire inside/both halves and possibly something on the back.
does this make sense?

Which version of Word might make some difference, but by & large you'd be
better off using one of the pre-designed templates. Have a look here:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/CT101447601033.aspx

You can customize them (and the docs generated form them) to replace content
with your own and add content to them rather easily. Most importantly the
*layout* work is already done for you, and that's the hardest part - Word is
not a page layout program, so if you don't have the experience & know-how to
set up a complex page you'll be lucky to have the invites done in time for
her *next* birthday party:-)

Another - perhaps preferred - option is to use MS Publisher if you have it
available to you. It's much more specifically designed to generate that type
of document. There are also a number of other page layout programs available
that that make the job much easier than attempting to do it in a word
processing program.
