When you create a Greeting Card and Invitation, the Works Wizard asks if you want to create Your Own Greeting or Your Own Fill-In Categories. If you decide to create your own greeting, Works provides a fixed size box where you enter the text. If more text is entered than fits in the box, the text wraps down and appears to be accepted.

However, once the card is created, the text box on the page does not include the extra text that was entered during the design process.

The text box is in the upper-left corner of the page. When you select this box, handles appear on each of its corners. Even when you use these handles to make the box bigger, the missing text does not appear.

To enter more text in the greeting area, do the following:


 * 1) Double-click the text box. The text, which is upside down on the screen, flips right side up, and a dotted line surrounds the box.
 * 2) Click your mouse where you want the extra text and type the rest of the greeting. As you type, the text box grows as needed.
 * 3) When you finish typing, click the arrow on the Tool Palette. The text flips upside down again, and any new text appears in the text box.

The Wizard also asks if you want to create Your Own Fill-In Categories. This choice also has a fixed size text box. After the card is created you can enter more Fill-In Categories using the steps in the “Resolution” section of this article.
