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
