In that case, you'll need to select the appropriate stock number from the
Tools | Letters and Mailings | Envelopes and Labels dialog, then click on
New Document to get a full sheet of them. They're set up as a table, so make
sure you have table gridlines displayed (Table | Show Gridlines) so you can
see the label boundaries.

Some "label" pages don't propagate very well, though. When you tab out of
the last cell on the page, you'll get another row on the next page, but if
there are smaller "spacer" rows between the "label" rows, these won't be
repeated. I don't think that's the case with the index card label
definitions, but if you have any problem creating additional sheets, you
might try using a mail merge instead. If your current text is such that you
can easily convert it to a mail merge data source (by putting the contents
of each card into a single table row, for example), then this might be a
simpler solution.

Thank you again. It should be pretty self explanatory right? I just

bought
Avery 3x5 index cards that are three to a page, so I am going to work with
the document. I appreciate all of your help. Take care

On the Paper or Paper Size tab of Page Setup, change the paper size of

your
current document to the appropriate card (you'll probably want to change

the
margins as well).

Thank you so much. I tried it and it supports that. It might take a

while
to
do all the copying and pasting, unless there is a way to change the

document
I am working on to that page set up. I will try it this evening. Thank

you
again!

If what you need to do is to type your notes onto an index-card

sized
document, then that's easily accomplished. Select File menu, select

Page
Setup, select the Paper Size tab; in the Paper size drop-down box,

select
"Index Card (3 x 5 in)" or, if you're going to be using a 4 x 6 size

index
card, select "Post Card (4 x 6 in)." If you don't like the

vertical
arrangement of the index card, then under "Orientation" (also on the

"Paper
Size" tab) select Landscape.

I am taking a real estate course and would like to convert my

notes to
index
cards to make flash cards. Is there a template out there for this?
