Creating a business card

[andyapc]

I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I would like to design a business card using DIP9. I think I have to go into create a project>business cards>blank. I'd like the card to be horizontal and to have a square layout in the upper right hand corner. My questions are: What size and resolution should I make that layout so that it would fit on the business card? Once I design the card, don't I have to open the layout and then drag it onto the card? So, how should I save the layout? Once the card is finished, how should I save it so I can print it? Thanks so much for any help! :)

I'm just following up with my question above - did I post it in the wrong forum? My brother is scheduled to do a presentation soon (in a couple of days) and I was hoping to have the card ready for him - his current card is pretty plain. Oh please, I hope someone has an answer!! :p

You can choose your basic business card. Then just use one of your layouts you've already made (or make a new one). Keep it at the original resolution. Resize it to probably 2" or so, you may have to resize it directly on your card to get it to be the right size. You can either drag the layout onto the card or use insert>photo from my computer. The layout can just be in DIP's native format PNG Plus. You can save the card that way too. When you go print, choose the Avery settings you need and you should be able to find the number matching up with the business cards. Just play around, I'm sure you can find lots of stuff!
