OK, then, lets start with the simplest way (easy as 1-2-3, literally):
(1) Forget the label template.
Good. I got myself so wrapped in using the Avery stock I didn't think
it through.
(2) Treat the card sheet in landscape mode (which puts the cards in
portrait mode) by defining your page (either Format the Default Page
Style or define a new "Index Cards" style from the Default Page Style):
With either the new or Default Page Style, go to the Page tab and define
it with Format=Letter, Orientation=Landscape, with margins L=1", R=1",
T=1.75", B=1.75", then OK.
(3a) Now define a 3-column/1-row table (which will automatically be set
to three 3"-wide columns; if not, you can make it so).
(3b) Set the table's row height (Table>Size>Row height) to 5".
(3c) Set the table's borders (Table>Properties>Borders tab) as you like.
I'd suggest no lines, but you may want non-zero padding.
Now you're ready to go -- and because the page/sheet is in Landscape
mode, you have all three cards on your computer screen, at maximum size
for maximum convenience.
Perfect.
Thanks,
Rod

Variation on this approach: You could substitute three 3"x5" frames for
the three-column table; same idea, just slightly more work.
Hope that helps,
John
