- Final Writer has drawing tools which will be of help.
-
- I'm assuming that `Indian Chief' is full page size. Import Indian chief
- and send it to the back. Just to the left of the image in the upper right,
- you want to draw a verticle line. In its preferences set the text flow
- options to left vertical. You can play with the distance setting. Set its
- color to white.
-
- With the image in the lower left, you would draw the line just to the
- right of the image and set its text flow options to right vertical.
- Everything else should be the same as the other line. BTW, these two lines
- should be paced at the back also.
-
- The drawing tools in Final Writer can be accessed by clicking on the arrow
- to the left of the bar that shows the font information.
