I would like to make business cards.  Are all business cards the same?  I mean the templates.  I have Print Works business card paper.  I am not sure if any Avery templates will work with this.   I am new at computers so I don't want to mess this up.

Hi Kerry

I don't have any Print Works paper so I'm not sure, but it's probably
perforated at the same places as Avery card stock. Business card sizes are
pretty standard (2 in x 3.5 in).

To check it without wasting a sheet of cards:
- Select an Avery business card style such as 5371 in the Tools > Envelopes
& Labels > Labels > Options dialog.
- Click the New Document button.
- In the resulting document, click Format > Borders and Shading, which opens
to the Borders tab. Select "All" on the left, and make sure the "Apply to"
box says "Table". Click OK.
- Print this page onto a sheet of plain paper.
- Place the paper over a sheet of card stock, align the edges of both
sheets, and hold them up to a strong light. Check that the printed borders
match the card stock's perforations.
