How do I copy first business card to the others?

I am new to using Word to create a business card and am trying to copy the
information including graphics from the first card to the rest of the cards
on the template. Surely I don't have to edit each card individually?

Click to expand...

The card template is just a table (if you don't see the cells, click Show >
Gridlines). Select the first cell and copy it to the clipboard; then select
the whole table and paste. That will repeat the first cell in each of the
others, all at once.

If you are using graphics then here's a method I use for this. The
steps may look lengthy but they really aren't.:

- Go to View/Toolbars and turn on the Mail Merge toolbar
- Click the first command (Main document setup) and select "Labels"
- Select your label product when prompted
- Set up your label with the graphic in the first label
- On the Mail Merge toolbar click "Propagate labels" (near the center)
- On the Mail Merge toolbar click the "Main document setup" command
and select "Normal Word document"

Now you also need to remove the <Next> field in the labels:
- Press Alt + F9 to toggle the display of field codes
- Go to Edit/Replace
- In the Find What text box type: ^d Next
- Leave the Replace With text box blank
- Click Replace All
- Press Alt + F9 to toggle off the display of field codes

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.
