The center of attention
PrintingPress Extreme 6.0 makes it easy to fill the background of your stationery with a pattern. Once you create your custom background and fill it with your pattern, you can adjust the placement of the pattern using the Margin Top and Margin Left controls in the background palette in the Design palette group.

The trick is to enter negative values for the margins to shift the pattern. In the example below, you can see the placement of the pattern when we first added it to the holiday card. You can see that the pattern is placed such that there is a white line along the left edge of the card, but the right edge has pieces of the circles.
