Cannot print business cards on Avery 8371 business card stock
I cannot find a way to input the paper type, Avery 8371 when trying to print business cards I made in Micorsoft Office Publisher.  Is there a wya to do this.  If not, does anyone know the margin settings that might work?

Hi,

Avery 8371 is a standard 3½ X 2 business card. Use any Publisher business card
templates. If you are using 2007, in page setup, Business Cards, scroll down to
Avery Letter, scroll to 8371.

Best Regards,

Sally Tang

I am sick and tired of Microsoft's lame explanations on forum, your online customer service help is nearly non-existent. Sally Tang, your answer is WRONG, I have MS Publisher 2010 (and it's probably the LAST TIME I ever buy MS products, MAC is very much in my future.)

Me too!  I cannot figure out how they cannot help with this.  Stupid, stupid, stupid.+

I have Microsoft Publisher 2013 and had the same issue with Avery 8371.  I found the solution for users of both Publisher 2013 and 2010.  This link has some useful info:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher-help/page-setup-dialog-HA010373182.aspx

In Publisher 2013 with your business card template open, go to the Page Design tab at the top.  In the very lower right hand corner of this tab, you will see a tiny Page Setup arrow.  Click on it and it will open up the margin adjustment options that you need.

The page layout type should be set to multiple pages per sheet.  In Options, the Target Paper Size should be 8.5x11.  Set the horizontal and vertical gaps to zero.

You will see that there are two places to enter the top, bottom, and side margins.  You should enter the appropriate numbers in one of these places, and set the numbers in the other place to zero.  This means that there are two possible ways to set the margins.  Either way will work and provide the same result.   The only difference is that depending on which method you choose, you will set the Page Width and Height differently for each.

So here is exactly what to do.  Method #1:  Set the Page Width to 8.5" and Page Height to 11".  In Margin Guides, set the Top and Bottom margins to 0.5" and set the Right and Left margins to 0.75".  Then to the right (above Vertical and Horizontal gaps which are set to zero) set the Side and Top margins to zero. 

Method #2:  Set the Page Width 3.5" and Page Height 2".  Then set all margins in Margin Guides (on the left side) to zero, and then (on the right) set the Side margin to 0.75" and the Top margin to 0.5".  Either way will work the same way.

This solution works, but make sure the Vertical & Horizontal gaps are set to zero.  I noticed mine were not already set to zero when I got to the Page Setup box, so I fixed that along with the other settings specified in the above post, and the result was good.  I used Method #2.  Thanks, whoever you are!
