I am trying to print out biz cards with a colored background. However, I
would like to extend this background color to the ENTIRE 8-1/2 X 11 sheet the
cards are printed on. Is this possible? HELP!!! Thanks!

Maybe printing on colored paper
would be an easy solution.

I was thinking about that too, but wasn't sure how to adjust for the color I
already have going. Also, how would using a colored paper affect the
images/photos?

But, back to the original thought: is this even possible to get color to
the whole sheet? Thanks!

You are correct...your images may
appear differently when printed on
colored paper.

Considering that you create one card
and the printer prints 10 copies...the
background would not print to the edge.

Thanks for the info...but I'm not sure how this works with my Publisher
issue. I'm probably missing something. Could you explain again??? Thanks!

Right now we're thinking of just copying and pasting the card into Word and
adding the colored background to the whole sheet that way.

If you have one card on your screen, simply color the background, create a
rectangle the size of the card, fill/no line, all the cards will print with
this background. The caveat is if your margin limitations is larger than .5 on
the bottom margin.

Are you setting up your business cards for 10 up?
