I cannot send a copy in the body of this e mail but will try to describe the layout. In the top left hand corner of the (business size) card is a logo which is approx two and a half cm wide by three cm high. Below that in size 10 font are two lines of words - 'MEMBER 2222 Membership Expires 2 April 2011' This leaves the upper right hand part of the card where the mail merge inserts the members first name on one line and second name on the next line. With Publisher the text entered with 'Text Best Fit' would allow the name to be entered to fill the space. The font size would vary according to the number of letters in the name could be from 48 down to 24. In OO Writer the font size depends on the longest name in the merge which applies then to all cards. Hope you can understand all that. [email protected]
