Printing a note card

D

Denise

I am trying to compose/create a note card but cannot seem
to find the correct dimensions, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. Is there
anything out there to do this?

If your printer does not support this paper size (you don't see it listed on
the Paper or Paper Size tab of Page Setup), there are three possibilities:

1. Some printers allow you to define custom paper sizes in the printer
driver. Go to Start | Settings | Printers, right-click on your printer and
choose Properties, then wander around to see if you see anything like this.

2. You can define a custom size in Word on the Paper or Paper Size tab of
Page Setup, but how your printer prints it will vary greatly. You'll need to
experiment with a full sheet of paper to see where Word prints the half
sheet, then feed it accordingly.

3. If (2) isn't practical (requires a paper feed position that is hard to
maintain), you'll have to let your printer think it's getting a full sheet
of paper, setting margins as need to place your half sheet on the full sheet
in a position in which you can practically feed it (usually top left, top
right, or center).
