ive been trying to make some double sided cards in publisher, so i use the
business cards option because they are equally spaced for when i print. the
thing is, i want to use the "10 cards to a page option" but with the 10 cards
displaying different information. (eg, the first card says ABC, second one
EFG, etc.) is there a way to do this or am i gong to have to space them
myself?

no, im not trying to make buisness cards. i dont have a list of people,
allthough i do have a table of info i want.

im trying to make a double sided question cards for GCSE biology revision,
with the questions on one side and answers on the other to help people
revise. i want to be able to colour code them to subject too.

all i want is to be able to see 10 evenly spaced cards that i can edit using
WYSISYG, so i can print one side and then turn it over and run it through the
printer again. is there an automatic way to get this layout, or am i going to
have to measure it all out myself and get it wrong about 12 times?

Business card templates

If you want to setup a page, arrange, side margins, .75, top & bottom, .05, two
columns, five rows. No gaps.

Why bother? You can buy Letts Revision Cards for £3 or so...
