In this tutorial, we are using the 'Pocket Reference Cards (5 per Page, 2-Sided)' template by Microsoft Corporation, which is the first template listed when you search for 'index cards.' If you need a specific type of card, use a more specific search. For example, if you type 'flash cards' in the search field, several vocabulary and math flash card sets are returned with data already filled out. Math flash cards are available for multiplication, division, addition and subtraction exercises. Credit: Screenshot courtesy of Microsoft. Edit the placeholder text to suit your purposes. Although templates can vary, the Pocket Reference Cards template used here displays two identical cards, one on the left and one on the right of the page, inside a single text box. If you change the fonts, spacing or document style, make sure the change doesn't hide any of the text in the cards. For example, if you increase the font size in a card, the increased font may push the bottom line beyond the visible area of the text box. Credit: Screenshot courtesy of Microsoft. Click the text box containing the first two index cards after you have finished editing them. Click the '+' icon in the bottom-right corner of the text box. This button duplicates the altered cards. Continue clicking the '+' icon until you have a full page or until you have the number of cards that you need. Note that as you continue adding new cards, Word automatically adds new pages to the document. Use the 'Zoom' slider in the bottom-right corner of the window to zoom out and see several sheets at once. The bottom-left corner of the Word window displays the total number of pages in your document. Credit: Screenshot courtesy of Microsoft. Click the 'File' menu and select 'Print' when you are ready to print your index cards. Select your printer and insert the card stock into the printer. Blank Templates Downloads. Printworks makes it easy to download and create personalized labels, business cards, greeting cards, postcards and crafts. Card stock designed for index cards is partially perforated so you can easily detach the cards from the sheet. Consult the packaging to be sure you have the correct template before printing. If you're unsure, print one page first and then adjust the margins in your Word document if needed. If you want to print double-sided cards and if your printer doesn't support duplex printing, use the 'Manually Print on Both Sides' option in the Settings section.
