- fit 4 or so on one page

When you say 'unique' do you mean you are Merging data and/or pictures to
the cards 4 to a page?

A little more information please?

Hi,

Each card will be typed manually, and I would like to fit
for of these cards on one page/sheet of paper (to save
paper). I will then cut the paper into 4 cards.

Thanks.

Well just take a the page size of the four cards that you are going to print
to, then go to menu Arrange > Layout Guides

You would set the Margins to suit the total area of the size of the four
cards, then in tab Grid Guides, set Columns to 2 and Rows to 2

Thank you.

I was thinking that I could create a custom page size for
each card (roughly 3.75"x4.25"), then somehow tell
publisher that I want to fit as many of these on one 8-
1/2"x11" piece of paper as it can.

You can do this but you will not be able to have a different picture on each quarter.
If you insert 13 pages, each page will have their own four images. You are much
better off making your Publication 3.75 x 5.00. This will give you a margin for your
printer default. Some inkjets have a .55 bottom margin default. (Left, if landscaped)
Setup your page this way, custom, 3.75 x 5.00, portrait. Change the number of "change
copies per sheet". Set the top margin to .5, the side margin to .5 and the gaps set
to zero.

The postcard setup is near what you want to accomplish.
