Can I convert notes in word to index cards?
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? |

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. "jazamy" wrote in message ...

This assumes that your printer driver offers these cards as built-in paper
sizes. If not, you'll have to define custom sizes, which may or may not work well. -- Suzanne S.

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!

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). -- Suzanne S.

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 "Suzanne S.

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. -- Suzanne S.
