How to Copy Pictures to Mac Stationery
Stationery is a feature offered in Mail, the Mac email application. Using stationery is a fast way to add a touch of creativity to your email correspondence. Stationery templates provide colorful backgrounds and predefined areas for pictures and messages, all laid out in a pleasing arrangement. All you have to do is replace the placeholders with your own text and pictures.
The Mail application offers a variety of professionally designed stationery templates from which to choose. The templates are organized into five categories: birthday, announcements, photos, stationery and sentiments. Templates in the photos category have placeholders for at least three pictures; templates in other categories only allow one photo at most.
