The first consideration is whether your printer can print on a 3" x 5" card
(many will not handle paper that small). If so, very likely 3x5 Card is
defined as a paper size in the printer driver, in which case you just select
it from the list on the Paper tab of Page Setup. If your printer manual or
Help file does not specify that the printer can print that size, then you'll
be taking a chance trying to get it to.
What you will find in the Envelopes and Labels dialog is label definitions
for sheets of several cards (such as Avery 5388, which has three cards to a
sheet). This may be the only way you can print 3x5 cards from your printer.

My goal is to be able to print anything I want on a 3" x 5" index
card. I would like to be able to print these index cards by placing a
card vertically (the 5" length of card upright) in the right hand side
of my Canon MP700 printer like I would do an envelope. So I clicked
on "Tool/Letters & Mailings/Envelopes & Labels/Labels/Options" where I
tried to find an 3 x 5 index card. I could not find a 3 x 5 card. I
looked at about everything trying to find something about the same
size. I chose "Print Single LabeI." I found something close ( I
don't remember now what it was) but when I tried to print I couldn't
get it to print on my card where it should be, in fact some of the
required print was not even on the card.
I did try to attack it in a different direction also, and that is I
clicked on "File/Page Setup/Paper and then set the paper size to 3" x
5" but I then from there I was unable to figure out how to get it to
print on my lonely little 3 x 5 card...haha...
Am I missing something simple somewhere along the line of how to print
on a 3 x 5 card because I have spent hours trying to figure what I
would think would be pretty simple and straightforward printing job.
I have about a half a dozen Word 2002 manuals and I could not find any
help in any of them...haha...
Any help anyone could give me to solve this printing problem would be
very much appreciated.
THANKS!!!
