I am trying to create mini cue cards, 3"x2.5", meaning I want to
print two mini-cards on a 3x5 card which I will cut in half. I want
the text (one to three lines) to start at the same place on each
mini-card. When I format the page for 3x5, I don't know how to get
the text for the second mini-card to start at the same place each
time (the first mini-card may have a varying number of lines). I
need hundreds of these things, and I would like to format each page
(two mini-cards) once for all the cards.
I've played with the paragraph spacing, frames, page formatting, and
almost everything else, but haven't gotten it figured out yet. Any
suggestions (especially ones that might actually work) will be
gratefully appreciated.
A few questions:
o Does your printer actually handle 3" by 5" stock (few will) and if
so, which way around will your printer accept this stock? Or will
you need to print the cards as part of larger sheets?
o Which way around do you want the text to appear? With the text the
right way up for reading, is the whole card in portrait format,
waiting for a horizontal cut? Or is it in landscape format, waiting
for a vertical cut?
o Do you want to create multiple cards (multiple pairs of mini-cards)
in a single file, or are you expecting to create a separate document
file for each pair?
