Yes, with my uber-powerful telescope and mirror satellite I can just see
through your window now to see what type of business cardstock you are
using...

Actually, no I can't. And my crystal ball's acting up, so you're actually
going to have to look on the pack of business cards for an Avery label
equivalent number.
Either that, you you're going to have to get a ruler (the type you measure
lengths with), measure accurately the values you need, and type them into
Publisher yourself.

hi don i am usingms office publisher 2003---i tried what u did but the margin
did not go up to 075

 

[SuBoo]

smart a**
i did that but it looed all screwed up too w/ only 4 card on a page so that
did not help

 

[SuBoo]

i have now 5371 2"x3 1/2 cards

Here's for two columns of five rows.

Here's I do it with Publisher 2000.

File
Page Setup
Special Size
Business Card from the drop down menu
OK

Create card.

Assuming you are using standard business card stock of 2 wide and 5 high;

File
Print
Page options button
Print multiple copies per sheet
Custom options button
Margins = .5"
Gap = 0"
Side Margins = .75"
Vertical gap = 0"

OK
OK
OK

And it's printing a sheet of ten cards.
Save the file and all the settings will be saved for the next batch of the
same cards.

Hey, I'm sorry - how do you expect us to know which numbers to use when we
have no idea what cards you're using?

Anyway, you need to set your page size in Page Setup to the size of one
card, and then set the gap and margin settings correctly. Publisher will
then fit as many cards on the page as it can.

File, Page setup, business card, click change copies per sheet, Top margin .5, side
margin .75, set the gaps to zero.

Watch out - your caps lock key is on. Shouting may have been an appropriate
reply to my post, but just because a reply that fixes the problem isn't
fortcoming within a couple of hours, doesn't mean you have license to shout
at everyone.

Make sure you have your printer set to high quality mode - otherwise it may
not feed the paper carefully enough, and the paper won't line up properly.

Also check that your paper guides are tight enough, flush to the edge of the
paper, otherwise the paper may feed skew or in the wrong place.

Hey, Ed. You tried.

It was suggested to you to change the Caps Lock state but then you could
not use the Shift key then you forgot the Caps Lock again, you really
are hard to help.
