(You might need to type a little bit of text in each column to check.) Using the “Layout” tab, change the text direction so that the text is rotated 90 degrees clockwise in columns one and three, and counter-clockwise in columns two and four. Insert your merge fields in the first column. Using the “Layout” tab, set the alignment for all your table cells to be centred vertically and horizontally. Steps 1–4 can be done in whatever order you find easiest: Even though they both bring you to the same dialog screen, only “Start Mail Merge” > “Labels” puts you into labels mode. Make sure you select “Start Mail Merge” > “Labels” and not just the “Labels” button right next to Envelopes. It may seem like you’ve done nothing, but this strange ritual will put Word into the right merge mode and enable the “Update Labels” button.Ĭonnect to your external data using “Select Recipients” Using the “Mailings” tab, select “Start Mail Merge”, and select “Labels”. (You can leave the table borders as-is, we’ll remove them later.)
Insert a four-column table and set the cell dimensions to 2.5" wide x 7.5" tall. If Word complains about printable area, just select “ignore”. Set the page margins to 0.5" on the top and sides, and 0" on the bottom. Open a new word document and set the layout to Landscape. (If you’re using a different card than Avery 5305, you might want to adjust the margin measurements.) James Overtures cards, but there are some additional tips at the end for cards where you have one, four, or six cards on a page. I’ll use the example of two-to-a-page cards like Avery 5305 or most of the St. The main trick is to ignore the default template that Word or the Avery website gives you, and to make your own template, sideways 1. Ideally you want to be able to print their name on both sides of the card so that it’s easily visible. Imagine you’re organizing a banquet dinner, or some kind of formal meeting, and you need to mail merge tent cards with your attendee’s names on them. I ran into this problem at work recently and didn’t find many good explanations for how to solve it - so here you go!
