(Note that you can still use the Project in order to stimulate ideas about your own design, or to simply copy and paste a Project card’s logo image to your own card.)  \nOnce you create the first card – the master card – it can be instantly duplicated with the author’s LABLCOPY macro ([http://wptoolbox.com/library/LablCopy.html](http://wptoolbox.com/library/LablCopy.html)) to create one or more sheets of 10 business cards per sheet.  \nThe sample card below will be used to illustrate a procedure that is outlined in detail on the following pages.  \n\n| Jonah Crumbly\u003Cbr>Skipper | |\n| --- | --- |\n| FLOTSAM & JETSAM HARBOR CRUISES\u003Cbr>“Specializing i n Three-hour Tours ” |  |\n| O NE M ARINA W AY\u003Cbr>SARASOTA FLOR IDA 34230 | 800. 123.4567\u003Cbr>SKIPPER@FJ . COM |\n\nFor your own cards, you can use different images (or none) , mixed font typefaces (experiment with non-standard types) and sizes, and other colors. You can use text boxes (which can be dragged into position and even rotated), tables (with or without borders or fills), columns, or any other formatting tool that WordPerfect offers. 1  \nFor the purpose of explaining this procedure, let ’s keep it relatively simple and use a standard font (Times New Roman) with some changes in font size and color and some typesetting commands from the Format menu .  \nImportant: Some format measurements might need to be “tweaked”(or converted to Metric) when you create this card on your own system . However, the general method should work on any system .  \n1  \nDon't make the card too “busy” or “scattered.” The Flotsam & Jetsam sample on this page might, in fact, give  \nthat appearance since it uses all four corners of the card as well as the center, so try aligning all text along a common axis and put related items in closer proximity, perhaps with smaller fonts (white space is your friend, here) . You could also set the graphic as a dim watermark behind all text. For more design help, consider a book such as The Non-Designer’s Design and Type Books by Robin Williams. (Two books in one volume, published by Peachpit Press, 2007.) It is a very good, easy to read and entertaining reference for those of us who are not professional designers of cards, stationery, brochures, and similar items.  \nProcedure  \n1. Open a new , blank document with File, New . Open Reveal Codes with View, Reveal Codes. (Tip: As you work, save frequently.)  \n2. To create the first card – the “master” --you will need to start a label definition at the top of the page.  \nThe word “label” is slightly misleading here . You might expect it to be “card ,” since you want to create business cards , but both labels and cards are listed in the same WordPerfect Format module. So here we’ll use the accepted phrase, label definition .  \n“Definition” refers to the fact that you need to first load a defined set of page measurements that WordPerfect can use to set up the business card on its own separate area of the screen, called a“logical page .”  \nTo WordPerfect, labels – which includes business cards and several similar items such as badges, post cards, and name plates – are logical pages that will be automatically aligned side-by-side or topto-bottom by the program when you choose a label definition with Format, Labels . When you duplicate the first card (we’ll discuss this later) , they will be printed on one or more physical pages – the card stock you insert into the printer.  \nFor most business cards, you will want WordPerfect to create 10 logical pages on one physical page, but there are times when you may need fewer cards. More on this later.  \n3.
