Using a Graphic as a Business Card - Problems

[DavidJ726]

I've got a graphic that is sized to 2 x 3.5 When I print it as a stand
alone file, it prints as it should, a standard business card size. However,
when I use the Avery template in MS Word 2003, the image "shrinks" somehow
and getting a sheet of business cards is nearly impossible.

The template I'm using is the Avery c_377_us0_biz_10psht_lnd.doc for use
with the 8871 Clean Edge cards. I've also tried the Avery Wizard with even
worse results. I'm sure these templates work well with text and maybe a
simple graphic thrown in, but I can't work that way. I need to use an
entire image as the business card.

I've also tried making my own "template" using .75 L/R margins and a .5
header, but I'm still having problems.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

David...

I wouldn't use the Avery template. Instead, in Word, click on Tools |
Letters and Mailings | Envelopes and Labels | Options | Product number:
8371 - Business Cards | OK | New Document. This will give you a
full-page table that fits the Avery 8371 (and 8871) business cards. If
your screen looks blank, you can show the table gridlines by clicking on
Table | Show Gridlines. Paste your graphic into each table cell.
