I'm legally blind and often need to share my basic info, name, address, phone
number, and e-mail address with other visually people. I need a business
card template with no graphics or logo that would have large print; maybe
18-pt for the name and the rest in 14-pt Arial font. Thank you in advance
for any help you can provide to this beginning user!

Will you need the standard size business card? Do you have the business card stock or
will you be using a special size and manually cutting. What version Publisher are you
using?

In file, page setup, select business card. You will have one card on your screen. You
can do the text in a text box using what ever size font that will fit. I did a sample
card with the 18 pt. font and unless your name is very long it works out okay.

When you go to print, click the "change copies per sheet",(Publisher 2002-03) change
the side margin to .75, the top margin to .5 and the gaps to zero. This will give you
10 cards per sheet which is the standard.

If you are using Publisher 2000 or below, file, special size, business card. When you
go to print, click Page options, on the next page, click custom options and input the
same measurements as above.

Mary,
Thank you for your directions; I've printed them out for future reference.
I have Publisher 2003 as part of Office 2003 Pro. I used standard 10 per
page stock; specifically Avery 5871. I solved the problem by going to the
Avery website where I downloaded the blank template 5871, saved it as a word
document, then just experimented a bit with the font sizes. I settled on
18pt for my name and 14pt for all the rest. I think it looks good, but I'm
going to verify that with sighted friends before I print more than one page.
Should I have used Publisher instead of Word? Again, Mary, Thank you for all
your help!

Steve Hatter
