For this post we’re going to use Awesome Bob’s University as an example. They’re having an alumni reunion for the Class of 2002. We’ll look at the steps they can take to print their own tent cards for the reunion. Step 1: Download the Tent Card Template Download the. Step 2: Open the Template in Microsoft Word Open the template you just downloaded in Microsoft Word (some may have opened automatically). You’ll notice that the template already has text on it. The text is set up to be used for a note card since it is a note card template. If you’re planning to have text on the inside of the tent card, you’ll want to pay close attention to how the text is laid out. In order to have text on the inside of the card, you’ll need to print on both sides of the piece of paper. To get an idea of how you’ll have to feed the paper to your printer, you can go ahead and use a scrap piece of paper to test how the default text will print. We’re going to have text on the inside of our tent card for this example. Step 3: Design Your Tent Cards This is where you can have some fun! You can use your business’ logo, colors, etc. For this example we’ll be using Microsoft Clip Art, but you should use your company’s graphics or photographs.

You can either have the person’s name on both sides or you can have their name on the side facing the chair and your company’s information on the back. The design is completely up to you!

In the next paragraph I’ll explain how you can rotate the page, change the table ect., but the easy way to do it is to just download the finished template where it will be rotated for you already. (: When you change the page layout from Landscape to Portrait it will obviously mess up the table. You’ll have to reset the table dimensions by highlighting all four cells and changing the height to 5.49″ and the width to 4.25″. Then right click on the table and select Table Properties. Click “Options” and set all of the cell margins to 0″, uncheck Allow Spacing Between Cells (if checked), uncheck Automatically resize to fit contents (if checked). If you’re having trouble with half of your table being on the second page, highlight the default space that’s right under the table. Change the text size to 1. Change the line height to 0.06″. This is what your new template will look like once you’ve moved the text around to the appropriate panels: Now you can easily make your design without having to worry about using Word Art to turn your text upside down!
