Printing Different Sizes

[tink73]

I'm going crazy trying to figure out how to print an "greeting card" in
Power Point. I have a center fold 5x7 card. It folds from the top down so
that it looks like a 5" wide x 3.5" tall with the fold along the top. I
really don't care if the slides print landscape or portrait. I suppose I
would prefer a portrait orientation so that it will look like a traditional
greeting card, but at this point I don't care!
What I need exactly, is for the first slide to print on the bottom half
of the front. I tried making a blank slide for slide 1 so that it would skip
the top half, but it still didn't work. I then need slides 2 & 3 (or 3 & 4
if using a blank for 1), to print on the opposite side of the paper.
I can either only get little 2 1/2" x 3" slides in the center of each
half to print, or it prints as if the page were 3" x 5" borderless and it's
all crammed at the top and to the left.
Please advise anyone if you can.
I would export the pages to Word which I am much better with, but I
don't know how to get the slide design to transfer as well.

PowerPoint is definitely not the program for this type of project.
Publisher would be my first choice, as they have templates for this type of
project or Word which you say your more familiar will also work quite well.
As far as transferring your design from PowerPoint, you can save your slide
as an image file then copy that into Word. Or, you can select what you want
from your PowerPoint slide, and paste that right into Word.
