Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I go about creating a new business card?

To create a new business card, use the New Business Card Wizard . The New Card Wizard guides you through the entire process of creating a business card. Just point and click to choose your style, fonts and background from hundreds of built-in templates. When you are satisfied with the format you have chosen, a new card is automatically created. (you can modify or "tweak" any part of the card afterwards as well)



Q: What additional design tools are included?

Many tools are included for adding text, graphics, lines, boxes, shapes and backgrounds, in various formats.


Q: Can I easily personalize the cards?

Yes you can. Use the Change Personal Information screen and enter your personal information - name, email etc.. (note: this information never leaves your computer). Now, whenever you use the Wizard to create a new card, it will automatically personalize it using your information. You only need to do this one time, and the Wizard will remember. For families or businesses, you can keep multiple personalization profiles.


Q: What card stocks are supported?

A list of supported business card stock can be found at this link. These cover 99.9% of what you will find in office supply stores. In addition, if you have an unusual requirement you can create your own paper layout. Using the Change Business Card Layout screen, you can customize all aspects of the business card layout.


Q: Can I use my own logos or clipart?
