business card template

How can I duplicate one box of my business card template so all the rest of
the cells or boxes has the exact business card content without having to copy
and paste each seperate portion in each box? My box contains a picture and a
few lines of text and color background.

Hard to say without seeing your template. In my case the template is a 2 x 5
table: copy and paste the entire cell once to complete the row, then copy
the row and do ctrl-v four times.

This is much easier to do in Publisher, where you create the card once and
print it many times, but in Word, just select the cell and Copy, then select
the entire table and Paste.

Dear Jezebel,

Thank you very much for the prompt response. If you care to download my
business card template, you will see that I am having problems copy and
pasting the first cell so the entire cells have my copy so I can print it.

I downloaded the template from microsoft then of course I changed the
picture plus the info. If you can show me how I can copy the entire cell, I
would be in your debt forever.

The problem is the strange mish-mash of graphic objects, particularly the
peculiar use of textboxes. However, it's still not such a drama. Select the
entire cell and paste into the cell to the right. That copies everything
except the horizontal line -- you'll need to do that separately. Then,
select and copy the row, and paste repeatedly; then delete the superfluous
empty rows at the end.

BTW, I have not the faintest idea what the photo is meant to represent. Are
you playing records underwater?

I realized that I had to lock that horizontal line to be able to copy and
paste it properly. The way to lock it is first you need to click on it until
three round hollow circles are place only on the line. I click on my
keyboard arros left or right or up and down. This will lock it in place.
Now I can copy the entire section. Then select the entire table once. And
all the cells have my card display... Perfect!

FYI, I am on a stage facing the crowd below. My back is turned away from
the camera. And yes, those are turntables. It may seem to be water, but the
smoke and the darkness probably gives that impression. But thank you for the
critique. I would have never thought it could actually look like I am
underwater. Thanks.

This may sound long winded but I had the same question. I found that the
template has one 'grouped' image in the first top left cell of the table
which is editable.

First delete all the other cell content by 'blocking' and 'delete', this
should leave you with the one image at top left.

Now make changes as required, remember that if you use any default text or
images, and indeed this should be standard advice, always 'ungroup' then
'group' all content within the cell.

Highlight the 'grouped image and 'ctrl c' or copy, (right click, copy)

Block all the remaining cells and paste the image.

I found here that it created a load of blank cells below, you can either
delete these afterwards or use 'paste special' from the edit drop down.

Hope this helps
Regards
Phil M
