About the Template

layers palette for the card template

Layers palette for the card template.

Make sure your layers palette is showing (Window > Layers). If you look at the layers palette now, you can see I have several layers and layer groups set up already.

Make sure the following options are active in the View menu:
- Extras
- Show > Smart Guides (CS2 only)
- Show > Annotations
- Rulers
- Snap

At times, you may find it helpful to display Guides (View > Show > Guides).

You can see I have added several notes to assist you in using the template in the future. Some notes are outside the borders of the page, so you may need to expand the document window to see them all. If you find the notes distracting, feel free to hide them (View > Show> Annotations).

We will create the inside and outside of the card in one file, and then show or hide specific layer groups before printing each side of the paper.
