Creating a template in Word
I need a template for 3x5 postcards that I can print with Microsoft Word. (I
have version 2000) I want to print them one at the time and not multiple cards on a single sheet. I don't have many to print and will only print them once a month. All I need is something pretty basic. I might want to add a picture in the background, but it's not a necessity. I'll just have text on one side and address, postage, etc on the other. How can I make a basic template for a 3x5 card? Thanks for any help and advice. Johnnie |

Just make your paper size "Custom" at 3" x 5". Then when you print, choose
the "manual feed" just like you would for an envelope. "johnnie2130" wrote: I need a template for 3x5 postcards that I can print with Microsoft Word.

Creating a template in Word
How would I set up my text and any images? Just type it the same as if I were
making a regular 8.5 x 11 word doc page? "laurie_g" wrote: Just make your paper size "Custom" at 3" x 5". Then when you print, choose the "manual feed" just like you would for an envelope.

Creating a template in Word
I added my text to a regular Word Doc. Then I chose "3x5 index card" from
print properties. I didn't see a place to choose "custom". When I printed what I typed, it printed like a regular doc. I used a regular size piece of copy paper to test it. I have Office 2000, so maybe there are a few differences. What did I do wrong and what else do I need to do to get to print 3x5 size? Thanks. Johnnie "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Yes. -- Suzanne S.

Don't choose the paper size in the printer Properties. Instead choose the
paper size on the appropriate tab of File | Page Setup. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "johnnie2130" wrote in message ...
