I’m trying to print multiple business cards on a single piece of paper. It seems like Libreoffice is not able to accomplish this - please show me where to do this, if it is possible. It would also be nice to have a grid or border around them for cutting them out.
There are several possible tracks.
-
create a table; design your card inside one cell; copy this design in the other cells
Table borders can be used to create cutting guides.
This is the simplest and most manual process. -
create business cards with the built-in feature
-
File>New>Business Cards - customise the various tabs of the dialog
-
-
create labels with the built-in feature
This is better fit when cards are different. You need to set up a “database” which can be a CSV text file, a spreadsheet or a real DB.-
File>New>Labels - customise dialog tabs
-
-
design your “master” sheet with Draw instead of Writer so that you can control manually very accurately placement of data and insert any cutting guides anywhere
Do it once, then duplicate the card using the 2D duplication of Draw (both on X and Y axis).
I used File > New > Business Cards as the basis for my business cards but I needed some cutting guides so I added some frames around the edge.
I suppose that you are in USA so my template, being A4, is not directly useful but maybe it will help in seeing how it works.
You add text and images to the first card only, the narrow space with the paragraph mark will expand. When you are happy with the card, just click Synchronise Labels button on the floating toolbar to fill the rest of the page.
