My boss wants me to create ID badges. I decided to use the business card
layouts and was planning on enlarging them but I can't figure out how to do
that. I've printed a million cards thinking I had figured it out. Can someone
help me? PLEASE!!!!

What version Publisher?
If you are using 2007, File, Page Setup, Mailing Labels, Avery US Letter. Select
one of the labels, 5524 looks as though it is a name tag. If you know the size
of your badge holder, finding the correct size will be within the label choices.

There are Word templates here

Hi Miry,

You do not say what you’re set up is??

You talk about business cards, so I think by that statement you must be
using Publisher. If you are??

Click on Index cards or post cards. (Better to be larger than you want)

Right click the mouse on the open Publisher page.
Left click measurements.
Put a text box around border of card. It helps with the cutting if you
colour this with a pale line.
The measurements of card will come up on the measurement table.
Adjust size that you want from table.

Hope it helps
