How to Print Rolodex Cards in Word 2007
1. Printing Rolodex cards can be done from most word processing software, including Word 2007. It is very helpful to use software for this; you can print additional cards whenever needed and also edit your cards when certain information changes. You can also change the layout and color to make your own unique set of Rolodex cards.
2. Choose your layout once you have your information ready. You may be able to use a standard template for this and you might find templates for Rolodex cards online as well. Alternatively you can play around with colors and fonts to make it unique and interesting. Keep the font small to medium to allow you to fit as much information on each card as possible.
3. Adjust your page settings. Choose the Portrait orientation and set the margins to 0.5 inches for the sides, 1.1 inches at the top and 1.0 inches at the bottom. This can be done from the Page Layout menu. Next, go to the Insert menu and select a Table with two columns and four rows. Then select the table and adjust the row height to 2.2 inches and the column width to 3.75 inches each. This can be found under 'Table Properties.'
4. Add content to each cell of the Table. To enter more than one line, press 'Enter'; when you are finished with a card, you can use the Tab function to move to the next card. Repeat this until you have created all the individual cards that you need.
5. Print your cards. You can use a standard office printer for this and you can choose to print in your cards in color as well. You can print one card to make sure that it prints correctly before continuing to print the rest. Also remember to save this document as a template so that you can easily add and print more cards whenever you need to. Add your cards to your Rolodex and instantly have an organized system for all your important information.
