How do I create an ID card using Word?
I work with a non-profit organization sponsored by a religious group with
little in the way of budget money. We would like to create ID cards for use by our members. We have Office 97 and would like to create ID cards using Word which we can then print on photostock, laminate and give out to our members. Can anyone give some simple directions on how to do this? Thanks. |

Hi, Madyson. I should think this would be fairly simple:
--New Word doc, change page layout to landscape with .5" margins all around. --Insert a table with with as many columns as you have pieces of information, i.e., First Name, Last Name, ID Number, etc. --Save it, close it. --Create a mail merge. Go to Tools-Mail Merge, and choose Labels as the document type, then choose Business Cards (you can buy these first, and then choose the one you bought. Please be smart and buy Avery or Avery equivalent plain old business cards--nothing fancy or your laminate won't stick!). Follow the mail merge instructions he http://www.theofficeexperts.com/word.htm#MailMerge (starting with Step 1) I hope it helps! ******************* ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com www.MyExpertsOnline.com "Madyson54" wrote in message ...

Actually, Avery makes cards for just this purpose. Look for Avery Laminated
Name Badges, stock no. 5362. Word 2003 (and probably earlier versions) have a label definition for this in Tools | Letters and Mailings | Envelopes and Labels, but if your version of Word doesn't have this definition, I'm sure the Avery package includes setup instructions. -- Suzanne S.
