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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Business Card in Pages

    I've created a business card in one cell. How do I put that cell into all cells?

    To make it easy option shift drag will copy it and slide it horizontally or vertically.

  • Can someone help me make my business cards with Pages?

    I can't figure out how to duplicate my logo in Business cards without copying and pasting individually, and that makes a resize necessary. Appleworks was so much easier!

  • 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.

  • Pages '08 Business Card Template Question

    In Pages '08, is there a way to change the business card template page view to a single card view, allowing me to create one card that would automatically display itself in all 10 positions when the layout is changed to multiple card view? This can be done with the old Appleworks program, but I can find no way to do this with Pages. It seems I have to choose a card template, modify one of the boxes with my info, then copy and paste it into the other 9 boxes. Is this correct? If so, it is a step way behind the Applewoprks method.

    Yes it is a step backwards, but herre is the way to work with it.
    Create your one card, highlight all of its components, group them, then copy and paste it into the space below it perfectly. NOW DON'T TOUCH ANOTHER KEY!!! Instead, just repeat the paste function (Command+V) 3 times to fill the left side of the card stock. Now paste another one in the right top spot, select the right top, copy and paste and then position in the next lower spot to repeat what you did on the left side. If you positioned the second card correctly, this should have only taken maybe 1-1½ minutes.
    Good Luck.

    Hi,
    I'm trying to add new fields on the overview page of service personal data IT0002
    I found "Determine Fields for Business Card on Area Page" in customizing and added new field, but it doesn't show in ESS portal service.
    Does anyone have any advice what I need to do to make it work?

    Bizcards is only customizable via IMG as of EHP3
    Lower releases might require additonal steps/modifications
    For EHP3 you need to ensure you are using EHP3 software components and have EHP3 business
    function switched on (be careful though switching on this function is only reversal via restore to point in time
    before switching it on) - also check note 1159911 if you  have switched this one and/or see no fields
    Worth also trying the following
    Check V_T7XSSPERBIZFLD for existing fields and positions
    Add supplementary fields and position numbers to V_T7XSSPERBIZFLD
    OR
    Check V_T7XSSPERBIZFLD for existing fields and positions
    Overwrite required positions and fields in V_T7XSSPERBIZFLC

  • Illustrator CS3 - Double sided Business Card in two pages PDF

    Hi,
    How do you create a double sided business card in Illustrator CS3 and be able save on one PDF document with two pages? I know how to create a single sided business card (90 mm x 55 mm with 5mm bleed) and save in PDF without any problems. I'm now trying to create a two sided business card in the same illustrator file and be able to save as one PDF but with two pages.
    I searched a bit and tried playing around with page titling but the result just isn’t working out (the size of the business card in the PDF is too small).
    Any help would be really appreciated!

    I downloaded CS5 trail and it resolved my issue. So much more easier to create a two sided business cards and save in PDF.

  • In the Apps "Pages" is there a tutorial for the Business Cards Templet?

    In the Apps "Pages" is there a tutorial for the Business Card Templet?

    Peter I see you are humble, as my self. I don't see a way to easily fill all the individual cards on the templet. Pages '09 version 4.1 (923)
    I first started using Business Card Templets with Microsoft Publisher back in 2000. Initially I filled out a business card and was given a choice to print 8 or 10 cards to a page. Since then I have been out of the loop due to illness, Pages '09 give me the choice to print 8 and 10 cards to a page but I'm missing the initial step.   laughing about it but confused too

  • Page 2006 and AppleWorks 6 business cards

    For the past few years, I've been using a DB template that came with AppleWorks 6 to generate standard 10-up sheets of business cards for a local volunteer organization's board members. Does Pages 2006 offer this kind of functionality?

    http://www.iworkcommunity.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=search&query=
    That iWorks site does have a 10 up business card template. Click on the link and then click on the download. When you click on the downloaded file it automatically opens the template and away you go.
    Edit: Sorry. That link does not work. Go to the Template site and search for business cards. I got two different templates to pop up.

  • When using the business cards template, how do you create one card then apply that card to the other nine cards on the page?

    I have customized the first business card on the page of 10 and now want to apply that to all of the cards on the page.

    Sounds like you didn't follow the link or Jerrold's suggestion of grouping the Business Card contents with the card box.
    The instructions are quite detailed and work if you follow them.
    It is nothing complicated, the BCards are just rectangles containing text and images.
    1. Group them so they don't separate.
    2. Copy them by one means or another into a grid for printing.
