Go to Crown Molding for Dummies, it's an excellent site with video instruction.

If you look on the back of the molding you will find two flat spots where the molding rests against the ceiling and the wall. If you put the molding in the miter box with one flat on the bottom and the other flat on the side wall this is how it will be when put in place. Just hold like this and cut 45 degree for 90 degree corners or adjust to fit.

TURN THE MOLDING UPSIDE DOWN, ON A MITER SAW, THEN COPE THE MOLDING(USE COPING SAW ALONG THE CUT EDGE). BE SURE THE MOLDING IS PLACED, ON THE MITER SAW, AT THE SAME POSITION.

Think of the fence as the wall, and the bed as the ceiling. Stand in back of the mitersaw and you can better see it.
