business/membership card, diffent names on each?

[Bruce Leavitt]

I created a membership card using the page setup for a business card.

Is their a way to easily place a different name on each card. It is set up
for a sheet of 10. I would not mind typing each name in separatly.
Or is their a way to open the entire sheet of labels and type each name in
individually?
Compared to having publisher, just show the one card?

thanks Bruce

You could setup a data base or list and merge the names.

What version Publisher are you using? The above link is 2003 merge help. It is
about the same in 2007.

You can setup a table with 2 columns and 5 rows.

Or on the Arrange menu, Layout guides, Left and right .75, top and bottom .5,
grid guides, 2 columns, 5 rows, zero spacing.

2003. I think with that help it will work,
just tried two names, seemed to work fine,
not sure when I do 350 names.

thanks, if I have a problem I will be sure to repost

Should I set up the data base in Word, Publisher, or does it matter?
In the data base, I just need the names basically

It doesn't matter what you use as a data base. With that many names you may need
the registry fix:
