I am trying to create business cards using Avery 8371 and Microsoft Word. I
find the instructions using Microsoft Publisher, but I don't think I have
that. I have Microsoft Office for Students and Teachers which includes 4 xp
programs...word, exel, outlook and power point. I can get the information I
want on the card, but the aligning is a problem. I also want to insert a
graphic.

Any help would be wonderful!!

Under "Tools", do you have an option which says "Letters and Mailings"? If
yes, choose that, and then choose the "Envelopes and Labels" option. Next,
select the "Labels" tab, and under "Options", find "8371-Business Card".
That should do it! If you have a complicated business card - with graphics,
etc. - I would recommend that you use the "New Document" option to set up the
card. Once you have one set up like you want it, you then just use Copy and
Paste to create a full sheet of the business cards.
