Print mail merge of 3X5 cards
I would like to print names and addresses on 3"X5" cards. Avery has 5388
3"X5" Index Card as one of its standard formats. Now I do not want to use the perforated 3"X5" Avery Index Cards, because they are too expensive. Instead, I would like to hand feed single 3"X5" cards into my printer. When I try to print this way, I have to insert my 3"X5" cards into my printer short side first, that is the 3" edge. When the printed card comes out, the text is printed in Landscape, that is parallel to the 5" edge. How can I accomplish what I want to? |

Print mail merge of 3X5 cards
If neither portrait nor landscape layout works, try...
a. imagine that the printer is really loading a standard-sized page (typically Letter or A4) b. work out which part of the page would print on the card (e.g. the card could load so it looks as if it's at the top left hand side of the page, or it might load so it's in the middle of the page at the top c. create your mailmerge main document as letter (or A4), and lay out the text and fields so that they print in the part of the "page" that corresponds to your card. You can probably do that by creating a table and adjusting one cell so that it's in the right position on the page. Peter Jamieson "Guy Delaney" wrote in message ...
