Re: [libreoffice-users] writer: business cards w/ tables - duplicate cells

I'm confused on what you are describing.  How can you do business 
cards if the content takes up an entire 8 1/2 x 11 page? Or by page 
do you mean the entire business card? If this is what you mean it is 
very simple to do.

If you use the File > New > Business Cards commands, it brings up a 
screen where you select the Brand of business cards you are using and 
then select the specific style.  When you select 'New Document' it 
brings up a new screen with the outline of the cards on the 
page.  Only the first (upper left) can be written in.  There is a 
"Synchronize Label"  button in the upper right corner. Generate the 
table in the first card. Once you have it finished to your 
satisfaction including font, color, margins, etc. click on the 
synchronize button. This copies the first card onto the other 9 on 
the sheet.  If you are not happy with the results, edit the first 
card, hit synchronize again to complete the page.
