Default landscape printing business cards

Listen people...do not waste your time with this problem. I have been using Publisher for years and I can tell you no matter what Microsoft tells you...you cannot get 12 up out of the newer versions. The last version that was able to print 12 up was Publisher 2003....I suggest you do a custom install with Office 2007 and continue using 2003.

File, Page Setup, Advanced on the right. Select
Multiple pages per Sheet, Custom Paper size, Type, 11
width 8.5 height. Page, type 3.5 width, 2 height. Type
..25 side and top margins. This will give you 12 cards
per sheet.

blank.... I don't won't to
change as I have cutting equipment that only cuts
this way
I talked to a Microsoft tech and he took over my
computer online and was not
able to correct the problem, he gave up ..... I have
been waiting for a fix
but nothing so far.... anyone else experience this
problem

THANK YOU, MARY!!!!!!!!!! I did every step you said EXCEPT the Custom Paper
Size---I was doing regular landscape (which SHOULD be the same because it
SHOULD be then 11 wide by 8.5 high) and it would not work---just that little
step of using Cusom Paper made all the difference in the world!!! I will
never understand why they made it so difficult to figure out something that
used to be so simple....but I guess they have their reasons! But I DO THANK
YOU for helping with this!!!!!! I was starting to panic at the thought of
this not getting worked out b4 we go company-wide with '07! Thanks
again---you've made my day!! Have a great weekend!!

Hey, Al---You sound as frustrated as I was....BUT I just tried Mary's last
suggestion---(I thought I had already tried all that----but there was one
little thing she did differently) Instead of just changing the orientation
to landscape (which to me is the logical thing!) we now do CUSTOM and make
the paper size 11 wide by 8.5 tall......I have NOT ANY CLUE why it makes a
difference, but it really does!! I worked on this for hours the other night
experimenting with everything imaginable....and I just tried Mary's step by
step approach and it really does fit all 12 on. Hope this helps!! Have a
great weekend!! Bons
