193200 2003-11-20 02:33:00 Microsoft word has templates for business cards. It's under the envelopes and labels. stevesumner (4849)
193201 2003-11-20 02:34:00 Use labels in Word and link rather than embed.

Alternatively consider a local printing business.

193203 2003-11-20 02:38:00 Use Word - address labels. It's the Avery package with Office97. I buy from the warehouse stationary, a heavy card, pre-cut to print on.

193206 2003-11-20 06:09:00 Avery.com is a good site - from their home page you can download a freebee called designpro, and a template manager also. Worthwhile because although you need to buy Avery Labels (surprise, surprise), it's an industry standard that will also serve other label / card manufacturers. For making business cards, steer clear of any system where you have to individually place each card in a card holder then print them one by one. Opt for the precut cards that press out or peel out.

193207 2003-11-20 06:11:00 Forgot to mention - Designpro also covers just about every label Avery make! WalOne (4202)
193208 2004-06-24 23:53:00 Unfortunately the program suggested by Kirrie Kiwi, which I have downloaded , only has rulers in inches, not metric . Likewise I see the pricing for the program suggested by Thomas is in $US so I suspect the same . As my need is very modest I am keen to get a freebie .

Word has quite a few demos you can download from the MS site but mostly they are provided by "Avery" for their stationery . I bought "Celcast" which is from an Australian Company . Checking their website I see that they have no software or templates available .

Will keep looking or try the one I downloaded . 90 x 52 mms = approx 3 . 54 X 2 . 00 inches .
