Default How to Layout Drawing Objects for Duplex Printing

I started with a Word (2003) template from HP for making collector cards.
The template is comprised of 2 landscape pages, a front page and a back page.
The original template was designed to printed on HP full page label paper
that you then stick to each side of card stock.
I want to be able to print it out using a printer that can accomadate duplex
printing.
There are currently 4 copies of each card on each page 3 1/2 h x 2 1/2 w.
Each card is made of about 15 different drawing objects.
What I want to know is how can I create a page layout that will allow me to
have two rows of 4 cards on each page that I can print duplex and have fronts
and backs line up properly.
I thought of creating a table, group each cards objects and copying into
each cell would work, but I can't figure out how to put them in the exact
same location in each cell, best I could come up with was "eye balling" them
which defeats the purpose.

Help!

There is definitely a way to line up objects to print exactly but it is quite
convoluted.

I can give you specific instructions. Send me an email, I will send you a PDF.
