Sometimes Frames work for me, while other times they do not.
Whatever way works best for YOU is the way you should do it. To be honest, the easiest way for me is just to print out on blank 3x5 cards I can buy for a lot less money than the 3 cards per sheet type of paper. But, you need a printer that can handle 3x5 cards. Most that have a borderless photo option, and photo paper tray, should be able to print 3x5 cards. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
