Making business cards

Earlier I mentioned carrying several business cards for various purposes. Now here is how to make then.

Office 2003

  • Click Tools on top menu then Letters and Mailings then Envelopes & Labels
  • Click on the Labels top tab then click on the label in the lower right corner to select a 2.5 x 3.5 business card (8377), then click OK.
  • Type the content of your business card into the Address box
  • Click the New Document button on the right side

Office 2007

  • Click Mailings on the top menu to activate that ribbon
  • Click Labels on the far left of the Ribbon
  • Click on the label in the lower right to select a 2.5 x 3.5 business card (8377), click OK.
  • Type the content of your business card into the Address box
  • Click the New Document button on the bottom

Final Touches

  • Always print on plain paper and look through it with label stock behind it to verify that labels line up and don't overflow
  • Match the label paper stock to the printer (inkjet or laser)
  • Load the label paper stock into printer
  • Card stock could be used as an alternative but then you'd need to cut the cards evenly
