Printable Index Cards
Make Your Own Printable Index Cards for a More Personalized Touch
There are plenty of printable index cards that you can find online, some are even for free but personalizing your cards is so much better. I always wanted mine to be different and when people see them, I want them to think of me. With MS Word 2007, it’s so easy to do this. You can use card stock or Word’s built-in templates so you can print on perforated index card sheets. Card stock is usually more affordable however perforated cards are easier to separate and they have a cleaner edge than scissors will provide.
When making your own printable index cards, the first step would be to click the “Page Layout” tab. This can be found at the top of a new document and then select “Size” from the banner of options. Pick your preferred card size. Your document will then shrink to the selected measurement. Click “Orientation” from the “Page Layout” options and then choose “Landscape”. This will give you a horizontal card layout. If you want a vertical card layout, you can skip this step and stick to the default “Portrait” layout.
If you need more space to type your notes, select “Narrow” from the “Page Layout” options. Adjust your font and spacing from the “Home” tab if necessary. You can press the “Ctrl” and “Enter” keys on your keyboard to create a new blank card. You can also click “Breaks” from the “Page Layout” tab and select “Page” from the menu to create the next card. Repeat this step for as many cards as you want to create. Your cards will be aligned within the document.
Now here’s the fun part, you can add color, notes and clip art on each of your printable index cards. You can do so much, the sky is the limit! If you’re a Photoshop techie, you can go ahead and use that instead of MS Word. Print your index cards on card stock once you have completed your personalized design then cut them into individual cards.
