won't come close to aligning business cards right
I have some business cards I designed in 2003 and always printed on my
Photosmart printer using Avery Clean Edge Business Card paper. I have Publisher 2007 now and it won't even come close to aligning them correctly on the page to print. I've measured the margins, changed every setting I can find, and nothing works. I even tried downloading and installing Avery's own designing program but it won't install under Vista. I also tried printing them with Word 2007 and using Avery Template 8371, but doesn't seem to let me design the card, use background pictures, or even align or place text that I can tell. Am I screwed, or is there some procedure for getting this working right that I don't know about? All help will be greatly appreciated. -- Thanks, John

I think I would check the HP site and see what's available for Vista.

Select all, right-click, save as picture, there are resolution and extension
choices. Use the HP software to print out the business cards. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "A" wrote in message ...

Hmmm, that's an interesting idea. I don't have HP software though. But maybe
I can download Avery design software if they've upgraded it for Vista by now. I'll check. Thanks. "Mary Sauer" wrote in message ...
