using 3x5 cards in word
I need some help.... I need to type out 3x5 index cards, and can NOT
afford to purchase the Avery kit, so this means I have to fed in my printer one at a time. However, when I selected the paper size in Word to 3x5, it is not giving me much room. According to the margins it is 1/2 inch. I can type only two words, font 12 before it flips onto next line. I also want to be able to view the 3x5 card only, and then be able to convert into a pdf file. Any suggestions on this? Thank you!! Karen |

using 3x5 cards in word
The Avery software is poor and does nothing that Word cannot manage on its
own. The issue revolves around whether your printer can handle individual cards (lots of printers will struggle with this paper size and will not have it as an option.) If it will handle the cards but not the paper size, use the next larger standard page size and adjust the margins to take up the difference. Another plan is to set the PDF driver as the active printer driver which will allow you to set zero or very small margins (note that the physical printer will probably not be able to print to the edge of the card). Create the PDF and print from that. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Karen wrote: I need some help....
