Great tutorial, unfortunately it doesn’t let me drag the blue graphic from the object library. I drag the object into the document window but nothing happens. Can any one help?

I wish I would have seen this before my assignment was due. I am brand new to all the Adobe programs and it took me HOURS to put a one sided business card together.

When this document is set off to print, does it print perfectly front and back?
