Most printers can't print on such a small paper size. Your time would
be better spent studying rather than looking for novel ways to avoid studying. student wrote: i am trying to make flash cards to study with, but i cannot find a template for this on MS Word. Any suggestions? Thanks! |

Valid point, however I am a college senior with upcoming finals. Most of the
study guides from the professors are on MS word, so I am assuming that it would be less time consuming to just cut and paste the questions and answers unto note cards rather than manually write them. I also have an all-in-one printer/scanner/copier that prints very close to the margins. So I ask the question again, is there a way to compose index cards on this program?

The problem is not how close to the edge your printer can print. A 3x5
card is so small that most printers can't properly pick up and feed it through the printer without jamming. Some photo printers are designed to print on small paper sizes. If your printer can handle small paper sizes, you should be able to select the 3x5 size in Word by clicking on File | Page Setup | Paper | Paper Size. I suppose you could print 4 cards on one letter-size page, and then manually cut them into individual cards. For this, you can create a landscape page layout with 0.5" margins on all sides, and insert a two-column by two-row table with the row height set to exactly 3" and column width set to exactly 5". student wrote: Valid point, however I am a college senior with upcoming finals.

Take a look at a software called ndxCards ( http://www.ndxcards,com ).
It lets you take notes, ue the notes in your paper etc., and lets you make and print your own Flash cards. |
