Hi Michael,

I don't understand why you would not use a 4 card (2x2) to 1 letter or a4

I don't disagree, but it's a matter of context: Rod asked a LibreOffice
question in a LibreOffice forum, so I gave a LibreOffice answer. I respect your
effort to widen the context [like you, I'm also dedicated to maximizing
efficiency and minimizing waste], and the same thought occurred to me at the
time, but did not widen the context for a few reasons:
(1) Rod asked about a specific form, so he already had his form.
(2) When/If Rod runs out of Avery 5388, he can revisit his choice of form ... but
I don't know of a cardstock form of 3"x5" cards arranged 2x2. Do you?
(3) A 1x3 format uses 48% of a letter-size (8.5x11) sheet, while a 2x2
format uses 64% -- a welcome improvement, but (a) obviously neither is great in
that context, and (b) the 1x3 format may be more efficient in non-material
ways, such as the presentation on his screen.
IOW, the most efficient choice may not be knowable to us without a lot more
information and context.
