Is there any easy way to print double sided cue cards?

[etalns]

So tired of having to cut out each question, glue it on, and then cut out each answer and glue it on too. Does anyone know if it is possible to make a document in word, make page 1 the question, page 2 the answer (for cue card 1) page 3 the question, page 4 the answer (for cue card 2) and so the printer will print the first side first, then I flip it, and it will print the other side after?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have Microsoft Word, but can get any other necessary programs!

you could make the page size equal to the size of the card.

EDIT: under page setup, click the paper tab. in paper size, you can choose index card sizes 4x6 or 5x8, or custom size - i.e. 3.5x5

If you do like you say and put all the questions on odd pages and answers on even, just use the option on the print dialog to print the odd pages first, flip the stack, then print the even pages. Voila!

Ahh, was wondering if that would work Thanks for the input.

How would I go about making the page size equal to that of the card?

File > Page Setup > Paper Size

Edit: That's in my ancient Word 97 that I still use at home, but it's gotta be similar in later versions.

*cheers* thanks a lot, didn't know I could do that.

The only problem I am currently having is I have made a text box, and I'd like the text to start in the absolute center, currently it is starting at the top line. Is there any way I can do that? I have tried making the text box smaller so that it is in the middle of the card, but then I'll have to resize it if there's too much text on the card.

Why use a text box? Just set your top and bottom margins so that it will be more centered on the page.

Alternatively, if you have vastly differing amounts of text to go on these cards, you could use a table and set the cell to center vertically.
