2 sided card setup

[Colleen]

I am in MS Word 2003. I would like to make a document, printed back t
back, that I can have laminated and cut into 4 separate cards. Th
original document is a 3 inch by 4 inch (top to bottom) card, with tex
on both sides, meant to carry in a lab coat pocket. Can someone advis
the best way to go about setting this up? I've tried putzing around bu
am not having much luck. Thanks! Colleen

I'd be VERY surprised if there isn't a standard Label to meet your
requirements. Go to Envelopes and Labels, find the label and use the New
Document button. This will put the sheet of labels on a new document (note
that labels are just pre-formatted tables). Fill out 2 pages of the labels
(obverse data on the first page and reverse data on the second page) and
then print duplex.

have a suggestion! Thanks so much for your help! Colleen.

I think text boxes, set up to link one to the next, are your
solution. They should be in fixed positions.

I've done this in the past with 2 each on front and back. Being
spatially challenged I needed several tries to link the boxes in
the right order. Once I got them set up, it was great: when I did any
edits the text just flowed to the *logical* next box even though it
wasn't next physically on the screen.
