Default landscape printing business cards

my previous version of publisher I could print 12 to a page landscape for the
bus. card section, now in publisher 2007 it only prints two rows of 4 ( also
previews only this ) and leaves the last row 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

Default landscape printing business cards

Normally, business 2"x3½" cards are created landscape 2 columns, 5 rows but
I see one could create portrait 4 columns, 3 rows; 12 cards.

I use Publisher 2000 and here is how I would get 12 cards per sheet of card
stock.

Let's assume you need some margin for the top, bottom and sides of each card
stock sheet.

File
Page Setup
Special size
Business Card
Portrait (default)
OK

Build the card
Now rotate the card 90°
Go back to
File
Page Setup
Width: 2"
Height: 3.5"
OK

Now to print a sheet of 12 cards:
File
Print
Page Options
Print Multiple copies per sheet
Custom Options
Site Margin: .25
Top Margin: .25
Horizontal Gap: 0
Vertical Gap: 0
OK
OK
OK

Be sure you do a File Save so as all the setting will be saved to the file
for the next time you want to print cards.

=======================
Try creating your own blank card.

File / Page Setup...enter 3.5" width - 2" height...OK.

Add your graphics / text

Now try going to...File / Print Setup / Landscape / Multiple

File, page setup, Advanced on the right, Layout type--Multiple pages per sheet;
Custom page size, Sheet width-- 11" Sheet height -- 8.5 zero margins, Page--Type
3.5" Width, 2" Height.
I don't know what your margins are, but this layout will show 12 cards in the
mini preview.

How exactly are you laying out the cards? The previous post shows 12 cards, only
the margins haven't been adjusted. Are you using 2007?

I have tried with Publisher 07 and the beta publisher 2010...the program will only allow 10 business cards per sheet.

I didn't see anything there about 2007 OR 2010 set up for cards. I really
don't understand why they took something that was so very simple and made it
so very difficult!

DId you ever get an answer that worked for you???? I've tried everything that
people suggest here and nothing works for me!! I print all of the business
cards for our company and later on this year they're going to MAKE us switch
to 2007 and I cannot make this work on my home 2007 'puter.
