You don't need a color printer, but you can of course change the text to whatever color you wish. Download for Word (.docx) | Download for OpenOffice (.odt) |
PDF Preview | Basic Grayscale Business Card TemplateStyle 10-BFormat: 10 cards/page The reversed out text is a nice way to highlight your contact information. Though it is in grayscale, you can change the colors however you like. I recommend keeping the text white with a darker background color. This card works well for adding a logo that requires a white background. Download for Word (.docx) | Download for OpenOffice (.odt) |

This subtle difference increases the professional feel of the card. Download for Word (.docx) | Download for OpenOffice (.odt) |
Tips for Customizing the Business Card Template
Editing your Business Card
TEXT: When you open the file, you'll see that only one of the business cards contains text. You will only need to edit a single business card, because you'll be copying/pasting later on.
GRAPHICS: We realize that one of the main things you'll want to do with these templates is choose your own color scheme, so we tried to make that simple by grouping all of the drawing objects (lines, background colors, etc.) so that you can change colors all at once. Hint: You can click on the 'Show/Hide ¶' button to view anchor points and tabs. You may need to use the Selection tool (the Arrow) to select some objects.
Adding a Logo to the Business Card Template
When using Word, inserting drawing objects and images can mess things up, and sometimes it does in fact take an expert to figure out why things are going wrong.
I don't guarantee that the following steps will work in all versions of Word, but hopefully you'll get the main idea and be able to format the objects and images as needed.
In Word 2003:
- Place the cursor inside of one of the business cards.
- Go to Insert > Picture > From File... to insert your logo.
- Double-click on the image that you just inserted into your business card or go to Format > Picture. If you are inserting or editing a drawing object, select it using the selection tool and then go to Format > Object.
- In the Format Object or Format Picture dialog box, go to the Layout tab and select Behind text or In front of text (under Wrapping style).
- In the Layout tab, click on the Advanced button, which will take you to the Advanced Layout dialog box.
- I usually set the vertical alignment to Absolute position of X' below the Margin. Also make sure Allow overlap and Layout in table cell are selected. We have found that positioning objectives relative to the Page leads to the greatest compatibility between versions of Word and OpenOffice.
Copy Your Business Card
We designed our templates so that you can edit a single business card and then copy it to the rest of the business cards on the page. Each of the business cards represents a cell within a table. It is important that you select the entire contents of the cell.
- Put your cursor inside one of the business cards.
- Go to Table > Select > Cell
- Press Ctrl+c to Copy
- Press Tab to move to the other cells in the table if you are using the 10-up version, or use the mouse to click in the other cells if you are using the 8-up version.
- Press Ctrl+v to Paste
Print a Test Page
What you see on your screen may not be what you see when you print (especially if graphic objects are used), so before printing out 100 sheets of unusable business cards, test on a regular piece of paper.
