Re: [libreoffice-users] Business Cards - Printing - Libre Writer version 4.3.5.2

I tend to use the free templates from Avery for Avery paper stock.  They 
are in .doc format, though.

I do have some printing issues though, due to printer and paper 
alignment.  I have only one printer that get the paper alignment correct 
more than 97% of the time.  The issue is the printers own internal 
margin minimums for Letter or A4 paper.  I get around this by using 
borderless printing option[s].

I use to make my own business  cards, but I now use a service. But, I 
use the card stock for many other things, including "business card like" 
cards for specific events that would be too costly to make more than 50+ 
cards.

Also, I tend not to use the "fill out one card for all cards" type of 
options.  I do my own cut/paste for card stock filling.  It just works 
better for my needs.
