Info on creating business cards in pages

In creating business cards using pages, how do copy and paste? Doesn't seem to work as normal.

Fruhulda,
I was too impatient to wait for your solution and finally figured it out for myself.  But I came up with a different method of dragging the one master card to the other blocks and that was by using the "option" key on the Apple key board. Apparently, it does the same as Cm + D.  It's strange that we can't just copy and paste as normal.
It's a shame too that we don't have a "how to do things" directory for our keyboard.
But I want to say thanks for being a good Samaritan out there willing to help people like me and Samdelrussi.
Have a good Holiday Season.

  • Creating business cards in Pages with background image

    I am trying to use the Pages business card template and background image function of pages to create a business card that has an image on every business card on the sheet. I can't seem to find out how to do that. Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Here is the basic method of having white text on a colored background: Insert a shape. While selected go to the Graphic Inspector and select a Fill color. Re-proportion the shape as needed. Insert a text box (or boxes) and type your text. Drag it (them) over the shape and change the color of the text to white (or any other color you desire). Select all and group. Duplicate as needed. Apply this procedure to your business cards or anywhere else.
    Another method for applying a colored background to a text box: select the text box and Fill it from the Graphics Inspector and adjust the Inset Margin in the Text Inspector.

  • How to create Business cards in Iphoto

    Hi There:
    Would anybody know if it is possible to create business cards in Iphoto. If not any ideas. Thank you.

    That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
    You need a layout program like pages or pagemaker or InDesign

  • Business Cards in Pages

    I am trying to make business cards in pages, and have one done. I would like to have the rest the same, and copying and pasting all the parts is too time intensive

    Hi Sweetpea,
    Menu > File > New from Template Chooser... > Page Layout > Blank Canvas
    This is portrait format. The canvas will allow you to place and move Text Boxes (it mimics a drawing app).
    Menu > Insert > Text Box. Create one business card.
    Menu > View > Show Layout. Drag the Text box to just inside the margin (grey fill):
    With the Text Box selected, Menu > Edit > Copy (command c). Then Paste and drag the second business card to the right. The blue alignment guide will help you. Now two business cards:
    Select both and Menu > Arrange > Group. Copy then Paste. Drag the copy down and paste repeatedly until you fill a page. Dragging the first pasted pair sets the spacing for subsequent pastes.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • How to create a business card with Pages?

    I have created a card using the model, but i don't know how to fill in the page with ten cards. It,s impossible to copy and paste.
    What to do to have the same model on ten cards on the same page?

    Why do you find it impossible to Copy and Paste?
    Copy and paste is the method but you can make it easier on you by first group all objects. Arrange > Group
    There are several ways to copy and paste
    1. the "normal" one
    2. Cmd + D to duplicate
    3. Alt/Opt + drag
    When you have two card select both and do the copy and paste again and you have 4 cards. Repeat this and you have 8 cards. Add two more cards and you are done.

  • Trying to create index cards in pages

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a 3x5 flash card template to study, and can't find an easy way to set this up on Pages. I need to make about 150 double-sided cards with text on the front, and text wrapped around a small picture on the back. So I need to create an efficient system to plug in data as well as a picture for all of these items. I've tried several things so far:
    1) Create a blank document 8.5x11 landscape orientation, then pull the guides down to fit 4 cards on a page. I would then ideally enter the info, print double-sided, then cut with a paper cutter. This formatting works fine for the first page, but I can't seem to replicate this page or the guides onto subsequent pages (guides can't be made to master objects I guess). If I try to select all 4 text boxes, copy, then paste them into the next page they for some strange reason scale down in size, so I lose the dimensions and placement of the boxes.
    2) Create a brand new template with aforementioned guides and text boxes. And again, when I tried this I couldn't get the page and formatting to be replicated to subsequent pages. When I made the text boxes into master objects to try and achieve this, all text I enter into them gets replicated into every subsequent box, which is not what I need because I need unique text on each card.
    3) Create a 3x5 page size document, which works ok but I cannot get a placeholder image to be replicated to subsequent pages. That means I need to drag the pictures on and format them one by one, which is again time-consuming. This is also tricky because I need to find a printer that handle printing directly onto index cards, which is a little specialized compared to printing on standard letter paper.
    I've also searched the forums and google to try and find add-ons or shareware that can do this, but haven't come up with anything!
    This is weird because surely I am not the only student who wants to create index cards on the computer rather than by hand! Please help..my final is next week..
    Thank you.

    Try to "capture" your first page thru the menu Format > Advanced > Capture Pages"
    Then you will be able to insert a new page with the defined attributes from the menu entitled "Sections" in the toolbar.

  • Creating business cards

    Using the business card template, I have created one perfect card with text, photo etc. How do I duplicate this card to fill out the rest of the template?

    Hi chemise,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Pages '09 forum.
    Here's an alternate method:
    Select all placeholder items in the other 7 cards on the page.
    Press delete to remove them, leaving only your one perfect card.
    Select all of the items making up your card, using the method in ibookmaster's post.
    Press command-D to duplicate all items.
    Press shift-command-up arrow once to vertically align the copy with the original.
    Press shift-command-right arrow repeatedly to quickly move the copy into the card space at the top of the right column.
    Press command-right arrow (and/or command-left arrow) to nudge the copy into its final position.
    Select the copy and the original.
    Repeat the steps above using shift-command-left arrow once, then shift-command-down arrow and command-down arrow to move the two new copies into the second row.
    Select all four copies.
    Repeat the steps above to align these horizontally, then move them into rows three and four.
    Save. Print.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Creating Business Cards in PSE 5.0

    I have been making some Business Cards in PSE for about the past couple of months. It has been quite a learning process along the way. I am by no means an expert at this. Either with PSE and in making business cards.
    Basically I am making the core of my card or many times all of it within PSE, and then going to Publisher and inserting my PSE created file, formatted as a TIFF normally, right into a Blank Publisher Business Card template.
    My question is regarding the original resolution of my card in PSE. Because when you use any Type within PSE, it's size is tied to the resolution of your image. I have been creating my images as 300 ppi. But when I add the text for the card on there, it's always too small. And if I try and enlarge the text size to make it look normal, then it seems I can't get things to fit within the safe printing zone. I can't seem to get a middle ground here.
    Should I not create my basic image with a resolution of 300 ppi? Should I go lower so that the Text (type) will be more in line with a 72 ppi image? I am afraid to go too low with the resolution fearing that the graphics and text won't look to good when printed. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Lee

    Thanks so much! I am actually in the middle of still reading your book Photoshop Elements 5 - The Missing Manual. What prompted me to put this out to the forum was the section you have in the chapter for using Type in PSE where you explain very well about how the resolution of your image effects the size of your text. Before reading that I was kind of stumped as to why things looked different.
    That makes better sense then to do all the main graphic stuff in PSE and then go to Publisher for all the rest.
    The book is great by the way.
    Regards,
    Lee

  • Can someone help me in learning how to make business cards using pages

    can someone please help me in learning how to make business cards using pages

    You could jump start the process with an Avery MS Word 8-up business card template as a free download. Either version of Pages will digest it nicely. Once you load it into Pages, do a File > Save As Template.. , add it to Chooser, and give it your name choice. Both versions of Pages will remove the printer registration marks in all four template corners. The free LibreOffice Writer retains them.

  • Creating business cards in Photoshop CS4

    I have a design, but I can't figure out how to print it. Help please.

    Resize your design to the correct size for a standard business card.
    Make a new file the size of a standard sheet (A4 or Letter)
    Make guides on the sheet and drag copies of your resized design on to the sheet.
    Print the file on suitable stock and cut out the cards.
    (In fact this is better done in a layout program or even Word!)

  • I was wondering how to create ID cards on Pages or Numbers, how do you do this?, I was wondering how to create ID cards on Pages or Numbers, how do you do this?

    Hello All,
    I was curious on how to make or where to find a template of a ID card to create/edit on pages or numbers. I would like it to include the company name, first and last name, photo ID, expiry date and ID number.
    If you can help me out, that would be great.
    Thank You,
    Zach

    Zach,
    Generally this sounds like a mail merge and would be better handled in the previous version of Numbers and Pages (iWork '09) since the mail merge feature was dropped.
    Make a table to contain the list of attendees where the columns represent the various fields you listed.  Then mail merge to Pages.  In Pages you could then add the photo ID (there is not automated way to move a picture.)
