business card template

[Kevin P. Seuring]

I am trying to find a blank business card template that
will allow me to print to the avery 10 card per sheet
stock I think that is the 28876 number. I see that the
default is set to a 4 card per sheet format which is not
the stock i use. Also how do you create a transparent
textblock? I have a watermark base for the business card
and need to print the text over it. Can this be done in
one printing or do I have to print out the watermark then
re-run the same stock with the text over it? Thank you for
your thorough help. I'm not a techi with this stuff.
Thanks again. Kevin

A couple of ways. One is to create a blank document with a page size of 3.5"
wide by 2" - business card. When printing select print / page options /
print multiple copies per page. Then click on custom options and set the
horizontal and vertical gaps to zero and set the top and side margin to the
size of the margins on your card stock. The other way is to use a wizard
(ugh) to create the card, but you would still set the print options as
described above. This instruction is for Pub2000. In 2002 or 2003 the
wording may be slightly different, but the procedure is essentially the
same.

Also how do you create a transparent

textblock? I have a watermark base for the business card
and need to print the text over it. Can this be done in
one printing or do I have to print out the watermark then
re-run the same stock with the text over it?

With the text frame selected, depress Ctrl-T. Be sure the text frame is the
front element (brought forward).
