How can I get crop/corner marks to print?

Hi, I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me on this:
I'm trying to create 2 folded cards on one landscaped 11"
x 8.5" sheet. Finished card sizes are 7" high x 4" wide,
which I'll fold to end up with 3.5" high x 4" wide.
I am trying to position the cards in such a way that I can
cut off as few edges as possible. In any case, I would
like to print guides for cutting -- ideally this would be
crop marks showing my 7" x 4" trim size. How do I get crop
marks to print?

Thanks!
Carol

You'll need to create them as graphics. I do this by drawing two short (1")
lines at right angles to each other and butted at the corner (like an L). I
group these two lines into a single AutoShape, then copy/paste them three
times. Rotate/flip to get the other three orientations, drag the AutoShapes
to the required positions (you'll probably need to use Format AutoShape |
Layout | Advanced to fine-tune the position), then group all four and save
as an AutoText entry.
