I am getting married and ordered wedding programs that we would assemble ourselves

The programs came with a CD with like 8 borders that would fit to the program "fans" that we are making

The only problem I am having is with the border. It is just kind of a simple black border approx 1 inch around with some flowers in the middle. The border on the demo is black and it took me a while to get it to the color we wanted, however, when I change the color then the inside color of the program changes to grey. I am trying to just have the boarder be hunter green and the middle with the writing be white. It isn't as easy as just going to the picture options because of the way they set up the demo.

If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.



E: would there be anyway to just disable printing in grey?

if you're going to use ms word as an image manipulator, you're going to have a bad time

tbh I haven't used word in god knows how long, even in college I used photoshop for papers to fuck with the kerning for length and occasionally rastorize the text so it slopes down near the end of the page to mess with the professors(makes you read the same sentence you started at, pretty frustrating)

if you pm me with more info I might be able to help you out, being your wedding and all it sounds somewhat serious

Word is the wrost thing u can have for editorial design like this. Word is good for fast documents when InDesign is just a waste of time like master's thesis or such with normalized text.
Concerning image manipulation, see the post above. If u want to do it right without using some funky paid programs, download Gimp, process the images, then paste them rasterized into Word if u must. Otherwise just use Illustrator or InDesign along with Photoshop.
