Default changing page size for business cards

I'm trying to save the business card I've designed in Publisher 2007 that I
can upload it to VistaPrint.

The problem I'm running in to is that if I change it to print 1 per page, it
puts one in the middle of an 8 1/2 x 11 page. I tried changing the paper
size too, but it doesn't work for some reason.

Does anyone know how I can do this? VistaPrint says it accepts Publisher
files so there must be a way...

Using:
Publisher 2007, XP, Internet Explorer

Thank you!!

In Publisher to print a sheet of cards it is done in the Print operation.
Look in the Print sequence for the setting


File
Print
Page Options button
etc

On the page setup, click Advanced on the right, select Multiple pages per sheet.
You should get the correct print preview.

Default changing page size for business cards

Thank you Mary and Don for taking the time to reply, however it actually
doesn't address the problem.

I need to save the file as if I'm printing just one business card, not a
sheet, and I need the paper size to match the 3x2.5" businees card size. That
way, when I save the file and upload it to VistaPrint it uploads properly.
Currently when I change the paper size it either won't let me change it that
small or if I do it doesn't stay that way when I try to print.

I've changed the paper size, I've changed the advanced settings in print
setup, I have the business card document selected......I don't know why it
doesn't stay how I'm setting it up.

Will your VistaPrint folks accept a PDF?

Download the PDF converter from the Office site.
https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...displaylang=en

Setup your page from the right task pane 3.5 inches x 2 inches, no margins.
When you are ready to print select Save As Type, expand to PDF, in this
print dialogue, click the Change button click the Advanced, click Print
Optionsbutton on the bottom of the screen. Select Custom on the drop down,
type Width 3.5" Height 2" , landscape. Okay out.

Default Great solution!

Thank you so much for posting this solution. Not only did you solve Tami's problem in 2008, you also enabled me to solve the exact same problem for my CFO today. He came to me for help, showed me the problem, showed me how it was failing, and I had no answers because although I am used to psychoanalyzing Word, I have never used MS Publisher.

After we failed at a variety of my suggested attempted fixes, I went away and googled "VistaPrint upload problem." I found Tami's description that matched exactly. Then our CFO tried your solution and Huzzah, IT WORKS PERFECTLY!

Thank you so much!
