Hi Anne!
I have not installed word.  I just found some templates some time back.  Where 
did you find the ones that you looked at?  I'd appreciate being able to look at 
them.
This business card thing shouldn't be difficult but it is turning out to be 
that way.  I just want the ability to print a few and change the info depending 
on what's going on.
Jim
