How to create a memorial program via computer?

Question

I need to create a memorial program for my relatives funeral- she died on monday. The funeral is this Sunday. ALL the money we had went into the funeral/burial fees.

There is a charge for the program too, they charge you for everything.So...I was designated to do it w/o being asked( as if grieving wasn't enough.)...

My question is how do i create this program on computer. Can I use MS Word???? Powerpoint ?? I have the picture, information, obituary, etc. so how do i put it together.??

I am running out of time...Can someone please help!! I really appreciate it.

Just to clarify the memorial program I need to create is the printed paper service folder that contain the order of service, obituary, etc and usually becomes a keepsake for memoirs.

I cannot afford the funeral fees to have them design and print copies of the program nor can I go to Kinko, Staples.

I know I am asking alot but I just need to know if I can use Word or PP to get the just done.If not what application/sofware can i use? Thanks

Answer 1

MS Word will work

EDIT:
You can insert pictures by going to the main menu bar and clicking INSERT. On the dropdown list you shoud see PICTURE click that and you be presented with choices of where to get you picture from.

I should mention that you want to position your cursor on the document line where you waht to insert the picture.

Once the picture is inserted you can use the picture tool bar to choose how the text will flow next to the picture. If you do not see this tool bar when you click on the picture then go to the main menu and click VIEW. Then TOOLBARS and from the drop down list make sure Picture is checked by clicking on it.

Answer 2

Use MS Movie Maker. You can add pictures and videos, special effects, and music. You can then create a CD or DVD of it.

Of course, you can also use Powerpoint, but then you need to play it from a computer and matching sounds to the file isn't as easy.
