I'm am totally cluess how a company of this magnitude, programming a piece of
software of this magnitude creates a help file that returns only TEMPLATES
linked online when a user clicks Help>Microsoft Office Word Help or Help>Show
Office Assistant and uses the search parameters "create business card". Is
Microsoft SO clueless as to think that someone typing in "create business
card" into a help search engine just MIGHT be looking for help to "create
business card"? Maybe Microsoft has not reached the level in Word wherein
you CAN create a business card. Maybe the user MUST use a premade template
at this time in Microsoft. How freagin' absurd. WHY did I give in and leave
WordPerfect?!?!?

I'm using Microsoft Word from the Office 2003 Suite with the latest updates
per Microsoft checking.

Well, first of all, Word is not the best application in which to create
business cards. And about the only way you're likely to be creating business
cards in Word is using pre-cut or pre-perfed sheets of cards from Avery and
similar "label" makers. These products usually come with some instructions.
Beyond that, you use Tools | Letters and Mailings | Envelopes and Labels.

1. On the Labels tab, click Options..., and select your product

2. OK to close the Options dialog, then click New Document...

3. The new document is set up as a table, so make sure you have table
gridlines displayed (Table | Show Gridlines) so you can see the label (card)
boundaries.

4. From there, you create a card in one table cell, Copy, select the entire
table, and Paste.
