I am trying to print newly created business cards and I
am having quite the trouble. I have everything down,
except the print paper. I am using Avery 8871 paper, and
using the instructions off of the Microsoft website, I
went to File>Page Setup, and from the layout tab selected
Labels, then it says to simply go select the label sheet
you want. Here is the problem. THERE IS NO 8871 OPTION
in the label section! Or anywhere else for that matter!

I need to get these printed, does anybody have any
suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

David

Use the business card selection in page setup, click change the copies per sheet.
Change the gaps to zero, the top to .5 and the side margin to .75.

One problem I am running into is the cards are setup in a
portrait orientation. When I select those
configurations, it gives it to me in Landscape. When I
select portrait it does not come out right.

The one card you are presented after you do your setup may appear landscaped, but the
page is portrait. Do a print preview.

Try 8471, 8371, 5871 - the ten-up busimness card template is pretty
much the same all over.

What are you trying to do? The 8871 labels are the basic 3?" x 2" business
card, 10 to a sheet. Nothing fancy - nothing unique. The 8871 cards are the
same as 8869, 8877, and others.
