The guide is intended to be used for printing business cards on normal paper, not business card paper. If you are using business card specific paper that is pre-cut from Avery or other manufacturers, download the template pertaining to the paper from Avery.
If you have any comments or questions please use the comments form at the end of the guide. In the Available Templates section, click Business cards under Office. You could use text boxes if you wish.
Add your text to the page and format accordingly. Keep in mind that if you add too much the cell will grow to accommodate this.
So add what is necessary and format to fit. It is a good idea at this stage to turn on Pagination so you can see the returns in the cell and adjust the font size accordingly. You will find Pagination on the home tab in the Paragraph group. When one of your business cards is completed and looking awesome then scroll your curser over the cell to highlight everything in the cell including the graphic. Right click and Copy then put the curser in the next cell and Right click and Paste.
Put your curser in the next cell and hit the F4 key to add the information to the next cell. Pressing the F4 repeats the previous operation in Microsoft Office applications. I use this function all the time to speed up my work. Print your first card with a fine border on which is the default. After you have printed the first card it is a good idea to change the border colour to the same as the background.
Do not remove the border; change the colour of it instead. Highlight the table Right click and choose Borders and Shadings. The Borders and Shading dialog box will appear. From here you can change the colour. Even though your card will be saying it is 5. Click the "Create" or "Download" button to open the template in Word. Fill out the information fields in the first card. If you're using Office or newer and the template was designed for or new , you'll see your text appear in all of the business cards on the page.
You'll only have to fill out information for one card this way. If the template is not designed to automatically fill out successive cards, you'll need to enter the data for each one manually. Change the format of any elements. You can select any of the text on the business card and change the format.
You can switch fonts, change colors and size, and more, just like you would regular text. Since this is a business card, make sure that the font you choose is legible.
Replace the logo if necessary. If the business card template has a placeholder logo, you can click it to replace it with your own. Make sure that you resize your logo so that it fits, and that it doesn't look bad when the size has been changed. Make absolutely sure that your business cards do not have any typos or other mistakes.
Your business card is one of the first impressions people will have of you, so you don't want to start off on the wrong foot. Print the cards on stock, or send the file to a printer. If you're going to be printing the cards at home, you'll need high quality stock paper.
Stick to white or off-white, and pick your finish. Most business cards don't have a finish, but some people prefer a glossier card. Many print shops will be able to open your saved business card template and print them for you as well.
When purchasing paper, make sure that your printer at home can handle it. Check your printer's documentation or support site for details on the type of paper that it supports. Use a precision cutting tool to finish the cards. Once the cards are printed, you'll need to cut the sheet up. Each sheet will typically have ten cards on it. Don't use scissors or other methods of cutting that rely on you keeping a straight line.
Instead, use a paper guillotine or precision paper cutter. Many print shops have these tools available for customers, or can do the cutting for you. Tip: The standard US business card size is 3. Method 2. Create a new blank document. If you'd prefer to create your business card yourself, you can use the Table tool to make it easier. Click the "Page Layout" tab and click the "Margins" button. Select "Narrow" to make the margins a little smaller than the default setting.
This will allow you to fit the business cards on the page. Click the "Insert" tab and then click the "Table" button. A grid will appear beneath the Table button. Create a 2 x 5 table. Use the grid to insert a table that is two cells wide and five cells high.
Right-click on the table's selection crosshair and select "Table Properties". This will open the Table Properties window. The selection crosshair appear in the upper-left corner of the table when you hover over it. Set the alignment of the table to Center. This will make it easier to make the cards even. Click the "Row" tab and check the "Specify height" box. Enter 2" and change the drop-down menu to "Exactly". Click the "Column" tab and check the "Specify width" box.
Enter 3. Examine your table. You should now have a table on your page that is separated into ten identical business card-sized cells. If the table doesn't fit, you may have to extend your bottom margin by a tenth of an inch. Right-click the crosshair again and select AutoFit. Choose "Fixed column width". This will prevent the table from changing shape as you add information to the first cell.
Add your information to the first cell. You can use all of your regular Word formatting tools while typing in the cell. You can insert text boxes and images, change fonts, add color, or perform any other formatting that you'd like. Proofread the card.
