Top fold cards

[Nywoman]

I have to print a lot of place cards, double sided and my boss likes the top fold note cards that are 5 1/2 X 4 1/2 Avery 3268. I have gone into the template and tried to set it up but whenever I try to print I get 3 pages. How can I create it all on one page. There are two top fold cards to a page.
Thanks for all and any suggestions.

Start with a blank page and position the text frames to correspond with the
card. No template is needed.

Avery has a blank template for your cards, portrait or landscape.

It is in Word, but you can paste it into Publisher.

Which version of Publisher are you using!!!

How you do people expect proper assistance when you cannot even post the
Publisher version.

 

[Ron Cohen]

This is still an easy thing to fix. Instead of creating four cards to a
sheet, change the page size to that of a single card. Then when you get
ready to print, change the print options so that you are printing multiple
sheets per page. The procedure to do this varies a little between versions
so the wording I used may not actually apply to the version you have.
However, if you can get through mail merge this is an easy task.

It looked great until I tried to do a mail merge and realized that all 4

cards get the same name. I need to do one name per table top doublesided. In
other words I need one name twice not four times.

In page setup
Select custom, input 3.25 width...4.5 height Click, Change Copies Per Sheet, change
side margin to 4.75, top margin to 0.5. Horizontal Gap to 0.5, vertical gap to 1.0.
This will put one card on your screen. Adjust the margins in the arrange menu, select
two rows, this will give you a center line.
On the bottom half put the merge preference in the text box. Do the same on the top
half, only rotate it 180 degrees.
Should work...

I use Publisher 2003, and have downloaded the Avery template into Word. When I do a

mail merge I get the name side by side on both cards, and not on the front of and
back as I need to. The second name goes on the back part of the card. I don't know
what extra field if any needs to be input in order to get the first name on the same
card.

The above information is for Publisher.

Thank you, it works perfectly except that the cards are 5.5 w and 4.25 high and I print in landscape mode. The way you explained it and if I followed it correctly, which I think I did I only get one card per sheet. How do I get the second card with its own name?

I didn't know if you were using the landscape or the portrait template.
Do this:
When you put the template into Word, select all and apply a grid line. Print this out
and measure the card. You will find the physical card template is actually 4.5 x
3.25.

So in the setup, custom, landscape, 4.5 wide x 3.25, side margin .5, top margin 4.75,
horizontal gap 1 inch and vertical gap .5.

and again???

Maybe I am the one who is not explaining well. When you do a merge, you can only have
one card on your screen, this is why you set the page up the way I advised. If you
can see both cards on your screen then the merge will not work, both cards will have
the same name...

Thank you again.
May be I am not explaining myself well. I need the 4 cards. The template is fine

now. What I need to do is having the left card top and bottom with one name, and the
second card top and bottom with another name. In other words each card is to have its
own name, the top logo and text box are turned 180 degrees so it prints correctly.
Maybe this is a question for Excel? I just don't know how to merge so that it comes
out that way.

 

[Mary Sauer]

I have set this up and it works every time for me. This is something I haven't
established, what version Publisher? I set it up in 2000 and it works there too.
Change the Excel to CSV document, maybe that will help.
