Choose the Selection tool again and, at the bottom of the template, select the square labeled “Place Artwork Here.”
If you have artwork you'd like to include in the mailer, this is the place to put it. You can copy it from another application and use PageMaker’s Edit > Paste Into command to fit it right into this square. Or you can delete the square and use the File > Place command to import the file.
If you have no artwork, all is not lost. Open the Pictures palette either by choosing the Picture Palette button in the toolbar or by selecting Window > Plug-in Palettes > Show Picture Palette. Choose the Type and Category appropriate to your mailer, and then browse through the pictures. When you find one that works, drag it from the palette and drop it right into place in the template. Reposition, resize, and crop as necessary.

Finish the mailer.
Choose the Text tool and then select the text at the bottom of the template. Before you begin to type in your text, notice that there is a drop cap in this particular template design. To maintain this feature, select only the drop cap and type in the first letter of your text to replace it. Then select the rest of the text and type in your remaining message.
The template has done all of the work for you. Save the file, load your mailers into the printer, and print like a pro.
