On your tool bar click Arrange and then Layout Guidelines. Specifically for business cards, you want to try the following settings for North American format: Left .75" Right .75" Top .5" Bottom .5" Column 2 Rows 5 Helpful Hints:
You should always run a test sheet of paper through your printer to ensure its lining up properly.
Your printer may have default print settings and they may conflict with what you are telling the page setup to do, so don't forget to look at those when you start your test page.
Try to stay away from printing a border around the inside of your card, if you want something on the edge maybe try a corner border or design in one or two corners.
Our instructions are meant as a guideline and not intended as a plug-and-play type format because we may not have the same version of the software that you have on your PC. You may have to manipulate the information or template to suite your software or printer.

Where is Avery number 8398?
The inserts included in our postcards, Invitations, and Notecard packages state they are the same as Avery number 8398. That number is a typo! The correct number should be either 8387 or 5315. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this has caused you.
If I don't have MS Word what can I use?
Our products are the same size as a few Avery template numbers. Avery template numbers can usually be found in the Tools/Labels section of most word processing software (like MS Word or Works.) For example, our business cards are the same size as Avery number 5371 or 8371. The invitations, Postcards, and Notecards are the same size as Avery number 5315 or 8387. Outside of the US and Canada this may be different. If you have any questions about another template size/number please call our customer service reps at 800-847-8500!
