I picked the name up from Christine in this list.  The printing company
that I am working through calls it a rack card.  It is approximately 8
1/2 ins by 3 ins.  I got the idea from Drew when he wanted a "cheat
sheet".  The front would be an "eye catcher" with relevant wording on
the back.  Maybe a list of usual by useful keyboard short cuts or items
used in Word and their OO.o equivalents.  Or it could be used as a bookmark.

Someone else will have to figure that out, as I am no artist.  I can cut
and paste but drawing is out of my reach.

There are a lot of things, like 'wikis' that I am still learning. :(
