Is it possible to make idex cards on word. i.e. Like putting the meaning of
a word on one side and the actual word on the other to study with and print
it.

Good idea. I've been thinking of this but has never come around to it.
In it's simplest form you need a table with

ID (autonumber)
Question (text)
Answer (text)

On the form you could show the question - upon hittin a button "show" you
could show the answer.
Use another button for "Next question".

The answer to the question is "yes", if your printer will handle the size
index card you want to use. Most of the study or flash cards I used, done
manually, were 3 inch by 5 inch. The smallest any of my printers (several
over recent years) will handle is 4 inch by 6 inch. You can purchase 4x6
inch index cards, but they are more expensive.

You can do it in Microsoft Word, if that was your question. You can also do
it in Microsoft Access, which is the subject of this newsgroup.
