Microsoft publisher 2010 greeting cards design using A3 paper.

My plan is to start my own greeting card line for non-profit purposes.  I have a local printer ready to go...I have my personal photos and tag lines ready to go.  My local printer guy suggested I purchase Microsoft publisher for the Greeting card templates.  So I did.  Problem is...I'm a first time user of this software and I can't find answers to my questions anywhere.  The videos on You-tube..don't answer my questions.

I am so Dyslexic...I can't figure this out.  I don't want the type of card you fold in fours.  My printer will be printing on both sides.  What I was hoping for is to use A3 paper and to get 2 complete cards off of each piece.  I designed one up..but its not looking good.

Who can tell me where to go for either 1)instructional videos or 2)easier to understand instructions.  I've been working on this for 2 weeks....and I'm shutting down each night with a monster headache and still, no idea what I'm doing.

Please help

    Setup your printer first for A3.

    Top foldPage Design tab, click the small arrow next to Page Setup.

    Target Page SizeCustom42cm Width

    29.79cm Height

    Page21cm width

    29.74 Height

    zero margins --- The mini view will say 2 columns of 1.

    Side foldPage Design tab, click the small arrow next to Page Setup.

    Target Page SizeCustom29.74cm Width

    21cm Height

    Page29.74cm width

    21 Height

    zero margins --- The mini view will say 2 columns of 1.

    You will need to create your margin guides manually. Let print preview be your guide. This may seem complicated, it really isn't. This setup will allow you to print 2 cards per sheet. Insert a page for the back. If you use a top fold, your will have to rotate your objects on the top of the page.
