Business Cards with different photos

[allstar]

I'm trying to make 10 photo ID badges using the business card template in
Microsoft Publisher 2002. How can I make each card have its own photo and
information on it? Currently, I can only make 1 card and duplicate it 10
times per page. I'd like to have 10 individual cards print per page. Is
this possible?

You will have to setup your page manually. There are business card templates here,
you will want the Avery: Business cards
http://www.publishermvps.com/General/Templates/tabid/38/Default.aspx

If you have already designed the card the way you want, copy it and paste it ten
times on the template.

It's worthwhile recording a macro if you want to paste one cell
to the others of a 5x2 table. I did and find it very useful when
I make changes even if it's not really something that I want to
show people who know anything about VBA ;-)

I setup business cards in Publisher without a table. If you take a look at the
template, it too, doesn't use a table. Publisher doesn't need tables for these kinds
of tasks. Simply place the cursor arrow where you want the paste and there you are.

I don't have Publisher but Word does a pretty good job of making
business cards on Avery perforated stock especially with the
help of the recorded macro I mentioned. It even works for
graphics if they are all to be the same, including portraits.
Avery business cards are available under Envelopes and
Labels/Labels/Options.
