I bought these business cards at walmart 6 months ago and never have been
able to find a template for them, it is such a hassle to have to create it
myself. Any suggestions?

Funny you should ask. I've been trying to develop a list of Avery products
and which ones have Publisher templates. I just started with labels - cards,
etc will have to wait just a tad.

I don't know of a template because those are the clean-cut ones so they have
a margin on all four sides. For now, I think you may have to create your
own. *IF* you do, maybe you could send me the data that you used for the
template? Although it means work for you, you could help others keep from
having to recreate the wheel. :-)

They are the standard 2 x 3.5 cards. Just a different description. If you scroll down
on the Avery page and click the Blank Templates it takes you to a page with a couple
of dozen label numbers all having the same 2 x 3.5 dimensions.

I saw that but the Word template from Avery has a .25" margin down the
center and between rows. It also has them .25" smaller in both dimensions. I
assume that is to make sure that the design doesn't get too close to the
edge of the card.

Download the template and put lines around the whole thing, it has no predefined
margins.
