Default Template( ?) for record cards

Doug,
I would like to print index cards on Avery 5388 in Publisher, but can't find that option. Any ideas?

Are you trying to print to Index Cards such as the Avery 5388. If so, from
the Tools menu, select Letters and Mailings and then select Envelopes and
Labels and go to the Labels tab and locate that label by clicking on the
Options button. Then click on the New Document button which will give you a
document with a table set up in it to match those labels. If you cannot see
the outline of the labels, open the Tables menu and click on the Show
Gridlines item.

I want to print on to Record (Index) Cards that are 5" x 3" .
How do I create a template for these ?.
I have printed some that are the correct size

but they would only appear on larger sheets of paper.
Sorry if this is not too clear, I'm fairly new to Word.

If you're trying to do this in Publisher, I suggest you post your question
in microsoft.public.publisher.

Publisher is a different program from Word and it does not have the Avery
5388 in the list of available labels.

What you need to do is select Page Setup from the Publisher File menu,
select Index Card as the Publication Type, set the Width to 5" and the
Height to 3", then click on the "Change Copies per Sheet" button and change
the Top Margin to 1", the Side Margin to 1.75" and the Vertical Gap to 0"

The setup should then suit the Avery 5388 label.
