Cutting guides for multiple business cards per page

[Gundy]

How do I add marks on the printer page for multiple copies of business cards
so that after printing I have guides for cutting the cards. I am printing 10
cards per page on 8.5"x11" cardstock - 2 columns and 5 rows. I need some
kind of guides in order to cut out the cards neatly. I am using MS Publisher
2003. I tried checking Crop Marks under Advanced Printer Settings but that
doesn't give me the marks I need per card for on the page to insure an
accurate cut out of each card.

You would be doing yourself a big favor if you just purchased pre-scored
cardstock

You could create a rectangle around the card, fill the line with a light gray
color and give it a small line weight.

HI,
That’s same thing i was after, now i come to find out Ms Publisher 2003
can’t do this
2 things, if you’re Bus.crd. Template is already a closed box or filled box,
don’t need to make borders, but only cut lines;
#1 you can move your template around on the sheet to have the set of ten
closer to the edge you prefer by clicking >FILE >PAGE SET UP under the

LAYOUT tab, click >CHANGE COPIES PER SHEET ... there you see the

"side-top-horizontal-vertical" margins you adjust yourself.
With a border either existing or made, you usual only need to make 2 cut
lines, i.e. If you move the template over to the far left of the page, your
cut lines would be on the right,1 across the top & the other across the
bottom horizontally .
#2 Make or download a template.
Someone advised me to tell Publisher that I am printing on a larger size
paper so the lines
Would bleed over the edge, sounds good but I haven’t tried it yet.
