Did you mention that this was a mail merge? Well, you just select Labels for
the merge type. Create the mail merge main document with the desired card
layout and include merge fields for the variable information. How you go
about this will depend on your version of Word. For information on Word 2000
and earlier, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...AMailMerge.htm.
For Word 2002/2003, see

Hi Suzanne, unfortunately this doesn't allow me to do the mail merge that
makes each membership card unique. Each card has the name and member
number
printed on it, so a table defining the shape of the cards doesn't work. I
need to be able to print what Word considers different pages on the sheet,
such that each page reflects the differing contents of the cards.

Best regards,
Bill Seymour

1. Open Tools | Envelopes and Labels (in Word 2002 and 2003, it's Tools
|
Letters and Mailings | Envelopes and Labels) and select the Labels tab.

2. Click on the Options... button.

3. In the Label Options dialog, select "Avery standard" beside "Label
products" (it will probably be selected by default).

4. In the "Product number" list, scroll down to one of the stock numbers
for
a sheet of business cards, such as 3612.

5. Click OK, then New Document. This will give you a full sheet of
business
cards. They're set up as a table, so be sure you have table gridlines
displayed (Table | Show Gridlines) so that you can see the label
boundaries.

6. Set up your card design in one label, then Copy. Select the entire
table
and Paste.

FWIW, this is *much* easier to do in Publisher.
