Creating business cards in Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word can be used to solve a variety of tasks, including not quite trivial, as for a regular text editor. In Word, you can not only work with documents, write scientific papers, articles or reports, but also, for example, create your own business card yourself. Although in our time they are not used as often as before, but still it is convenient and has not completely become obsolete. There are more advanced graphic editors that allow you to draw a card much better, but such programs are not cheap, but you need to have special knowledge to work with them. In Word, you can make quite a decent business card in a few minutes. In this article we will look at how to make a business card in Word. Let's figure it out. Go!

You can perform many tasks in a text editor.

You need to start by setting the page parameters. To do this, go to the "Layout" tab and set the fields to 1 cm or slightly less. Next, you need to create a table. Open the "Insert" tab and create a 2x5 dimension table, that is, 2 columns and 5 lines. The next step is to set the height and width parameters for the card. The standard is taken to be 9 cm in width and 5 cm in height. You can neglect this by making a business card as large as you wish. Just keep in mind that all business card holders and special branches in other accessories are designed specifically for this format. Set the desired values. Select the table and open its properties. Turning to the “String” tab, check the “Height” box and enter the height value (in our case it is 5 cm). Then in the “Column” tab, tick the “Width” option and enter the appropriate number (for example, 9 cm). Do not forget to confirm the entered parameters.

After that, everything in the same properties window of the table click on the “Parameters” button. There you need to set the fields of all cells to the default of 0 cm. Next, remove unnecessary dividing lines, leaving only those in which you will cut business cards. You can make the borders light so that you can see them when you cut out the cards, but they will be much less noticeable on the already made business card. To do this, select "Borders and Shading" in the "Format" section and select "All" in the "Type" item. Color set to any, light colors. Set the width to a quarter of a centimeter.

Now that the base is done, go to the text. Enter the name, company name, position and contacts that you consider necessary to specify. The text should be readable, so you should not use sophisticated fonts, which can complicate the recognition of letters. Also, do not forget to indent, so that all information is not located right near the borders.

After you have entered the text in the cell, you must fill in all the others. This task is solved by simple copying. To speed up the process, triple click on the text cell, position the cursor on the last line, and hold down the Ctrl key while holding the key, you can drag the selected text into the cell, then select two, four, six, and so on. This approach will significantly speed up the process if you intend to print a large number of cards. Please note that you should use thick paper for printing. It should be understood that to create a really beautiful and serious business card in Word will fail, and in this case it is better to contact the printing house.
