Formatting place/tent cards

I have a template for tent cards from Paper Direct but I don't know how to format it correctly so that names & table numbers fit.  There are 4 on a sheet.  Also do I do the same procedures for any place/tent cards.  The size is 2x3 1/2. I am working in Windows 7 Microsoft Word 2010. This is my first time ever doing this in Word.  Can anynone help?  I'm getting very frustrated trying to figure it out by myself.  Thank you.

Doug.....Sorry, but this didn't help me much.  If there is an easier way, please let me know.  I'm working with Word 2010 and Windows 7.  To be honest, it's kind of confusing for me.  I'm a very, very novice at formatting.   I'm trying to work with a template, does that make a difference.  Thank you.

The tent cards will just be the cells of a table with fixed cell dimensions so you can simply type the information directly into the appropriate cells and then use the tab key to move to the next cell.  Continuing to use the tab key will add new rows to the table.

If you want to send me a copy of the actual template that you have, I can take a look at it and give you more specific instructions.

Are you wanting to print on both sides of the tent cards? If so, then you have to use a table where the cards are vertical. You then use the Text Direction command to rotate the text in one cell clockwise and the other counterclockwise; this is the only way to get a 180° rotation in Word. If the template you were supplied is not set up this way, you will need to create your own. The result will look something like this (not sure whether this is the way the dimensions you gave actually work).

I will be using just one side of a 2x3 1/2 tent card with four on a page.  Thx for your suggestion.
