Click in the 2nd row, first column…

Go to Insert > Pictures… Online Pictures

Type what you want to search for and [Enter]
then uncheck the creative commons box.

Select a picture and Insert.

Size down

Use either of the corner handles to size it down a bit so it’s something like this…

Choose Crop and then to Aspect Ratio … select 3:4

Click in the middle of the picture and drag it left or right to position it where you want the focus to be.

Click off to set it.

Photo Size

Select the picture and go to the Picture Format tab at the top.

Set Height to 4.8″

Photo Style

With the picture selected, go to Picture Format and add the first picture Style…

Fonts

Row 1

Select the text in the first row and change it to font type Copperplate Gothic Bold (or Britannic Bold), size 48 and add any style. Note: if your heading does not fit on 2 lines total, reduce the text!

Row 2

Select the list and change the font type to Bookman Old Style and size 16.

Row 3

Select the row and make the font type Ink Free and size 22.

Row 4

Select the last row and change it to the same font type (Copperplate Gothic Bold or Britannic Bold) & style as your first row, just smaller, size 36. You can use the Format Painter and then pump down the font size.

So with all the fonts changed, you should have something like this…

Filling up the Page

Bottom Margin

Hover over the Ruler where the margin stars (white/grey), when you get a 2-pointed arrow and it says Bottom Margin, pull down to the 1/2″ mark.

Paragraph spacing

Select all the text (CTRL+A) and go to Paragraph options…

In the window that opens up, set the spacing to 12 pt before & after, Single line spacing and the box needs to be empty (not shaded or checked).

So you bullets should have gone from this (LEFT: no space between) to this (RIGHT: space between).

Everything should fit on one page, no extra blank page. If you have an extra page, change the page heading and price styles to one that takes up less room.
