Something to do whilst naked . . .

Post by Lambchop »

For some strange reason, I'm unable to reply to the thread about how to print business cards in Microsoft Word. :-?

The business card templates are hidden away under "Letters & Mailings." For some reason, Microsoft lumps them in with "labels." It has preformatted templates for all manner of labels, from shipping to file folder to CD, in the midst of which you'll find business cards.

Here's how to make your cards:

Tools
Letters & Mailings
Envelopes and Mailings
Click on the "Labels" tab
Click "Options"
At this point, you get to choose the manufacturer (Avery, MACO, etc.) and product you want to use (label, business card, etc.) If you bought a package of business cards, choose the kind you bought. Even if you bought an off-brand, it should tell you what Avery number it's compatible with. If not, just try a few choices until you find one that fits or that you like.

Just type in the rectangle provided, choose "full page," and print. Or, you can type in the rectangle provided, choose "full page," then make it into a new document, from which you can edit them.

I usually just make a new document first, then do one card the way I want it. Once it's all fancied up, I copy it into each space on the page. If you need some cards for different purposes, but not a whole page of each, you can put both on one page.

You're welcome!

Thank you, dear. I'm surprised this thread hasn't drawn more readership. People just aren't interested in useful tips until it's too late. Isn't that always the way? Ignore it now, then a month down they road they'll find themselves thinking "Gosh, I need to print business cards! I've seen something about that. Somewhere. Where? Oh where? Hey! Why am I thinking about ruminants?"

You just can't help some people.

Perhaps I should change the title to something more catchy. Ok, we were at 30. Let's see what happens.

If I said it once (and I did) I will say it again, "Lambchop, You are his guardian angel."

I get these "How do I made labels?" kind of phone call questions from my co-workers throughout the state. There are multitudes of people who sit right next to them who could show them in person but they call me. The reason (excuse) that I didn't respond to Jack's request as simply as Lambchop did is sometimes people's computer and Word settings and versions are different and I don't know how to re-adjust those settings.

I have a co-worker who does not have the "File, Edit, View, Format....." toolbar. I have another co-worker who has that toolbar but doesn't have "Tools" as one of the choices. I copy, paste, & e mail them a printscreen of my Word settings and ask them to show it to their IT and ask the IT to set up their Word toolbars the same way. Sometimes I hear back.

Naked people don't need business cards. People are either buying or they ain't.

I use to go to a coffee shop that had it's walls painted by naked people. Body prints decorated the walls. Clean up must have been difficult.
