MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / September 2007Business cards
I want to print out a 4x6 size of my business card that I did in Publisher. I want to frame it and use it for display purposes. Can this be done? Many thanks. Yes, it could be done. Oh, you want to know *how* to do it? Well, first, the proportions are not the same. A standard business card is 2" x 3½". If you doubled the size you would need a 4" x 7" card. You're going to have to compromise. Plus it's not a simple tweak. Depending on the card's design you may have a bit of work ahead of you. Do you really want to do this? You know the easiest way would be to run it thru a printer and just enlarge the design by 170%.

Also, if one used the print to pdf it could resize it. SignatureDon Vancouver, USA >I was thinking a copier, not a printer. > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >>>> Many >>>> thanks. That is a great option - and the easiest of any other. :-) SignatureJoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] > Sounds right.

I know this subject is a little old but just wanted to add in case others came across it. Another way would probably be to save the card as a .jpg and open it in a photo editor and resize. Programs suck as acdsee give option in the resize menu that help novice users like myself keep the quility of the image. Meaning when you resize the original to a larger size it will not get blurry or pixelated. You can also add tinker with other options or even add a border if you like. > I want to print out a 4x6 size of my business card that I did in Publisher. > I want to frame it and use it for display purposes.
