Assuming you're actually printing on A6 and cutting the cards apart... Set the document to landscape orientation, and set the minimum margins your printer will accept (most easily by setting the margins to zero, and then clicking the Fix button when Word complains that the margins are too small). Insert a table with two rows and four columns. The columns should automatically take the full width of the paper (less the margins). Click Table AutoFit Fixed Column Width. Select both rows of the table. Go to Table Table Properties Row. Check the box for Specify height, set the height to half of the page height less the margins (about 14 cm), and set Exactly in the dropdown. Click OK. The table should fit on one page, but it will force a second page that contains only a paragraph mark. Select that paragraph mark and set its font size to 1 pt, which should make it small enough to fit back onto the first page. Click in the top left cell of the table. Right-click and select Text Direction, and choose the direction with the bottom of the text toward the left. Right-click again, choose Cell Alignment, and pick the center (vertical and horizontal) icon. Click in the second cell of the first row. Repeat the previous step, except choose the text direction with the bottom of the text toward the right. These two cells together make one tent card. Finally, select the two cells and copy to the clipboard. Then select the entire table and paste, which will replicate the two cells into the other three tent cards. Save this as a template, for example TentCard.dot. If you're making a small number of cards, just create a separate document based on the template for each sheet, fill in the names, and print. If you have a large number to do, use mail merge and base the main merge document on the template. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

How do I make A6 tent cards?
Hi kiwigirl,
I'm confused (there's nothisng new about it). But, leaning on my understanding, do you wanted that the paper size be that of an A6???..If that so, you can follow these steps: Click on File - Page Setup - then click on the "Paper" tab. Then on the Paper Size drop down, select A6. Hope this helps. Post back if anything I can help. "KiwiGirl" wrote: I want to make A6 (quarter the size of an A4).
