Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can layout for
greeting cards on a single 8.5 X 11 sheet. I am sending
out save the date cards and would like to layout 4 cards
on the sheet with equal spacing between the four so they
can be cut at a later date. I have used the table format
option but do not like the way it lays out. Is there a
way to divide up the page in four equal parts without
using tables?

Thanks in advance

Nick

What don't you like about the table format? It's pretty adjustable. Table
would be the best option, so you will need to be clear about what you want
for people to suggest different ways to get there.

You could also look in Tools | Labels (maybe) for a postcard template, or a
template that matches the size you want. Perhaps you will prefer the table
layout you get that way.

Also, what version of Word? Later versions might let you design your card
on a regular sheet and print it 4 to a page, though I'm not positive about
that.

Your best bet is to choose a "Label" layout that does what you want, such as
Avery 8387.
