Business Cards

Can you print double sided business cards in Publisher? If so, can you tell
how because I don't see that option.

You make the back side of the card like you make the front side.

You then turn the page over and print the backside.

The precut business cards I want to use have the first column for the front
of the card and the second column for the back. They then stick together to
form a thicker double sided busines card. Is there any way of keeping the
second column blank?

Thanks Don!

(This is using Publisher 2000 but may work for you)

One way would be;

With a work area the size of your card stock, i.e., 8½"x11" do the
following:

Arrange
Layout Guides
Set margins to that of your card stock, i.e., .75"
Columns 2
Rows 5


Create a card in column 1, row 1 and copy to the other 4 below. (Leaving
column 2 blank)

You may also ant want to see if there is the form number you are using in
Publisher to use.

OK this seems only way i can post in here is to use reply option.. gee
....
SO whats is it here? Ms publisher do double sided cards or not...
Hearing lotta talking no real answers..
DOnt be afraid to Say NO this cant do that ! or YES it can heres the steps !
no need for all the 2nd guessing.
i bought a dupleser to print such things as business cards double sided and
i usualy has publisher to do my work before... so now iam doubting it can do
this task (double sided) which IS a let down ..again.
Taking paper out and turning it around IS NOT duplexing.

It isn't Publisher that dictates how your business card is printed. It is how
you set it up and create the card. My duplex will not work if I select a heavier
paper such as card stock. But my laser is getting elderly, the newer ones
probably work okay.

Publisher IS set up for duplexing, nice to know, much apprecited !

Hey James, I admit it was a poorly written reply. I hope you have your business
cards up and running.

still depends on the printer though.. with my ""duplex"" printer I still
have to turn the page in spite of what the product sales sheet said...so
maybe it's really half duplex??


| When you have your business card displayed on your monitor, select Insert
| page. This will create page 2. Now on page 2 put whatever you want on
the
| back of your business card. When you print select in your printer
| preferences "Duplex" or "Print on both sides" or something worded
similarly.

"Duplex" simply means two-sided printing.

Auto-duplex, automatic-duplex or a duplexer all mean that the duplexing
is done automatically.

so maybe the op has only a duplexer not auto-duplexer?
hard to figure what he's saying

No, a duplexer would imply auto-duplex. "Duplex printing capability" or
similarly weasel-worded marketing-speak means that the driver has manual
duplex.

well whatever it is, I've only used mine once or twice...too much of a
hassle. I just do a one sided mockup then output to pdf and drag it over to
my print guy.

nowhere in your op did you mention "auto" that's why I was asking...because
my machine says it's a duplexer and it's NOT...I'm the auto-duplexer.

Yes but puvlisher knows not a thing, eccept to have the ability to auto
duplex or not

No application other than your printer driver should know nor care about
an auto-duplexer. An auto-duplexer is the function of your printer and
should be set up in your printer driver. All Publisher has to do is feed
the driver pages.
