 * 2) On the File menu, click Save As.
 * 3) Under Save as this type:, click JPEG File Interchange Format.
 * 4) Type a name for your project, and then click Save.
 * 5) Close your current project, and then start a new blank business card project.
 * 6) Click Add Something, point to Picture, cutout, or clip, and then click From My computer.
 * 7) Locate the JPEG file that you saved in step 4.
 * 8) Click the image, and then click Add.
