A half-fold card can be used to create invitations and greeting cards for any occasion. Simply use the two pages per sheet feature in MS Word to run two half-sheets of paper on one page, which will help you to save paper. In Word, the two pages are displayed on two separate pages. When printed, contents of the first page appear on the top half of your page, while contents on the second page appear on the bottom half.
