Printing Business Cards

[a144mb]

How do you print Business Cards in Word? I'm running WinXP SP2, Office 2K3
SP2. To start, I figure that I could get some perforated card stock paper
from your local WalMart or OfficeMax. And I'm somewhat familiar with where
'Envelopes and Labels' are located in Word. I don't print labels voluntarily
nor for my job. But how do you print Business Cards in Word IF that is the
feature that one would use...Envelopes and Labels? If not, what's another way
of printing Business Cards in Word? Thanks in advance for your response(s)!

Yes, that's the feature Word uses for business cards. It isn't the best or
easiest to use -- if you have Publisher, it's much better, and even has a
load of prepared templates you can work with.

Visit
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/results.aspx?qu=business+card&av=TPL000,
and you may find other Word or Publisher templates you like.

If you want to do it from scratch, see

When you go shopping for card stock, look for an indication of the
equivalent Avery stock number if what you're buying isn't Avery brand. Word
contains measurements for a number of brands, but Avery has by far the most
entries. Although most business cards are the same size (2" x 3.5"),
sometimes the margins of the stock are different.
