having trouble printing on 5.5 x 8.5 note cards

I am trying to write thank you notes on 5.5 x 8.5 note cards.  I have customized the size of the paper and am printing the text in the lower half of the card, but the margins are completely off.  The printing is beginning 2" into the card.  I don't know how to correct this.  On the "home" view, it shows the card stock edge about an inch and half from where the normal edge of the paper would be if I were using 8.5x11 paper.

This is probably an issue with the way in which the cards are fed into the printer. 

 

You may be better off not setting a custom sheet size in Word, but adjust the margins on the default (letter) size page so that the text will land in the desired place on the card.

Hope this helps,
