Each card is a cell in a table. After you get the first card to look
the way you want, copy that cell to the clipboard. Then select the
entire table and paste from the clipboard. You should get the card
repeated in each cell.

Consider creating your own cards from scratch instead of using a
downloaded template. See http://www.gmayor.com/graphics_on_labels.htm
for a procedure with illustrations.

May I suggest using Publisher, if you have it? You make one card and when
it's printer, you get x number of copies of the same card.

Thanks for your answer. It just makes me realize how bad Word is (yes, I am
an avid WordPerfect user and will remain so until I see VAST improvements in
Word....) and how I will avoid it at all costs -- the exception being that
the MS monopoly makes it impossible for me not to use Word from time to time.
