How to Align Double
1. Go to the 'Insert' tab of the ribbon and click on 'Text Box' in the 'Text' group. Draw a text box onto the worksheet and click on the text box to select it. The 'Drawing Tools' tab appears when the text box is selected. Click on the 'Format' tab under 'Drawing Tools.'
2. Click the dialog launcher button in the bottom right corner of the 'Size' group to open the 'Format Shape' dialog box with the 'Size' tab selected. Clear the 'Lock Aspect Ratio' check box, if it is selected. Change the number in the 'Height' box to '2.' Change the number in the 'Width' box to '3.5' and click the 'Close' button. Drag the text box to the upper left corner of the worksheet.
3. Select the text box. Right-click it and select 'Copy.' Press 'Ctrl V' to paste the copy of the text box. Drag the copied text box to the right of the first one, using the grid lines to align them side by side. Copy and paste six more text boxes, placing three beneath the first box and three beneath the second. Click on cell 'K47' and keep the mouse button depressed. Drag the mouse up to cell 'A1' to select all of the cells containing business cards. Click on cell 'L1.' Press 'Ctrl V' to paste the business cards onto the second page.
4. Press and hold the 'Ctrl' button and click on the four business cards in the first column. Go to the 'Format' tab under 'Drawing Tools.' Click on 'Align' in the 'Arrange' group and choose 'Align Left.' Select the boxes in the second column and repeat the steps, choosing 'Align Right' instead. Align the boxes in the first column of the second page to the left and the final column to the right.
5. Press and hold the 'Ctrl' button and click on the four business cards across the top of the two pages, which should appear side by side. Go to the 'Format' tab under 'Drawing Tools.' Click on 'Align' in the 'Arrange' group and choose 'Align Top.' Repeat for the remaining rows to align all of the cards on both sides.
6. Type the information that you want on the front of the business cards into the text boxes on the first page. Type the data for the backs of the business cards into the text boxes on the second page. Add images by clicking on the 'Insert' tab and selecting 'Picture' to add an image from your computer. Select 'Clip Art' to add a Microsoft clip art image.
7. Press 'Ctrl P' to open the print dialog box. Click the 'Properties' button to open the 'Printer Properties' dialog box. Select the duplex printing option, which will vary depending on your printer. It may be called 'Print on Both Sides,' 'Flip on Long or Short Edge' or something similar. Close the dialog box and print your double-sided business cards.
