Printing 5.5 x 4.25 reply cards
Hi,
I am trying to print off wedding reply cards and am having a LOT of trouble trying to get the Word file formating correct. I would like to have two 5.5 x 4.25 cards per 5.5 x 8.5 sheet I tried setting the layout to 5.5 x 8.5 then making 2 pages per page, but (not surprisingly) it didn't work. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks B. |

Printing 5.5 x 4.25 reply cards
Use a two cell, borderless table in the document and repeat the information
in each cell. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Bentley" wrote in message ...

Printing 5.5 x 4.25 reply cards
If these come four to a sheet, use Avery 3263 - Post Card (landscape) or
5845 Note card (portrait) in Tools | Envelopes and Labels. -- Suzanne S.

Printing 5.5 x 4.25 reply cards
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the advice, I need to have two cards per page since my reply card kit comes with 5.5x8.5 invitation cards and reply cards (the latter which consist of two separate cards with a perforation between). I've continued to try and work with the 5.5 x 8.5 page size setup in word, but no matter what I do, I can't seem to get both copies on the same page and even. I keep being told that the margins are outside the printable area. When I fix the problem I end up with a huge margin at the bottom (which knocks most of second card text onto another page). Any ideas where I might be going wrong? Is there some I specifically need to do with the printer? Thanks again Bentley "Suzanne S.

Printing 5.5 x 4.25 reply cards
Although "2 pages per sheet" would certainly be the easiest approach, you
could also use two columns or a three-column table. If you use columns, set the space between columns equal to the sum of the left and right margins. If you use a table set the width of the center column to the sum of left and right margins. -- Suzanne S.
