Why will my newly created business card template not print?

[frustrated business card creator]

I have tried a few different templates from a few web sites and after i creat
my business cards they will not print. My last card is on the Microsoft
Office Templates. I saved it as a template and it still will not print.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi Frustrated,

What app, what version of Office, what version of Windows,
what template, what happens when you try to print?

Thank-you for your question:
I have OS Windows XP , Office 2003, Template is from Microsoft Templates for
word. This has happened 4 times, when I press print the printer makes a few
noises and nothing happens. When i go to assistance it says go to page
set-up, then document type tab , which is not there. When I go to Tools,
envelopes and labels, then pick out the right Avery business card I can not
copy and paste formatted card onto the screen. I have used downloaded
templated before but not for Avery products. I also created an Avery
busienss card downloaded from their web-site for Word and the same thing
happened. I think i need to know how to get the foramtted template to print
from Tools...Envelopes/ labels....avery 8371 business card.

Are you using the built in Word feature or the Avery Add-In
for printing?

In Word, when you start in
Tools=>Letters & Mailings=>Envelopes & Labels
choose the 'new document' rather than the print choice.
That should give you an editable page (in Word table format)
of cards/labels.

Does it then work in File=>Page Preview?

I found someone who mailed me a jpg. of my card already formatted and then I
pated it on the Word feature in Tools > Envelopes & Labels. I never could
get it to work with a downloaded template and i still do not know why.
thank-you for your help though.
