Anthony, I think that Victor is on the right track with suggesting that you make changes to the Page Set Up. Are you going to be printing on a stack of index cards or just one per session? See if these directions help you out to get the job done.
Changing the Paper Size to Print on Index Cards . Open a new document . Open the File Menu and select Page Set Up . Move to the Paper tab . Tab to Paper size and use your arrow keys to move to Custom. I think this is at the bottom of the list. . Tab to the Width edit box and type in the width of the index card, example 5. . Tab to the Height edit box and type in the height of the index card. . Move to the Margins Tab and set them. If you don't do this, then you will not have much room to write on the index card, as the default margins are set at 1 inch or greater. . When you are done with the margins, tab to OK. . Now you can type in the information you want on the index card. . If you are going to be using this configuration again, you might want to save a blank copy of the file before you type anything into it. This way all you have to do next time is open the blank file, do a Save As to give your working file a new name, and then start typing in your information. . When you are ready to print your index cards, you will need to decide how you will be feeding the cards into the printer, portrait or landscape. Portrait is the default setting, meaning that the smaller edge of the paper goes into the printer first. Landscape means that the longer side of the page goes into the printer first. You may need to play around with this a bit to ensure that the text on your printed cards is going in the correct direction. . Remember that printer settings that you change will only stay set for this session. So next time you open your blank index card file, you will once again have to change the printer settings.

I figure that if anyone knows, it'll be you. Any ideas? I could go to the labels option, but I can't figure out how to create a custom label that is 3x5. Thanks in advance. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Annette Carr" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, October 29, 2006 8:14 PM Subject: RE: [jaws-users] index cards and word 2003 Are you trying to print on individual index cards, or the Avery sheets of index cards. If it is the Avery sheets, then you just need to treat them like a label and select the correct label number and the rest should fall into place.

I'd imagine you can specify the size of the paper you are using there? Otherwise, you can probably use another program like the card reader with the Windows Address Book, or maybe using Microsoft Access to create a database file, then putting it on index cards, which I think is one of the options in there.
