Hi Tony,
Click Tools-> Envelopes & Labels-> Labels tab, Options, and
choose one of the several catalog numbers labeled "Business
Cards" from the list that appears. (Assuming you're buying
Avery-or-similar pre-perforated stock, match it to the number
on the box.) Then click OK, then New Document.
If, at this point, you don't see a grid of rectangles, click
Tables-> Show Gridlines.
Essentially your business cards are "labels", and essentially
all labels are "tables." Almost all principles (and quirks)
that apply to tables apply to business cards. Here's hoping
you don't run into many!

Hi, Tony,
Word treats business cards as labels. You'll want to buy some perforated
business card stock matched to your printer type (laser or inkjet). If it
isn't Avery brand, at least look for some indication of equivalence to some
Avery stock number.
In Word, go to Tools > Envelopes and Labels (in Word 2002, Tools > Letters
and Mailings > Envelopes and Labels) and click the Labels tab. Click the
Options button. Select "Laser and inkjet". Set the Label Product to "Avery
standard" unless the brand of stock you bought is elsewhere in the list.
Select the proper product number -- although as far as I can tell, all of
the ones marked Business Card have exactly the same measurements. Click OK.
Leave the Address box empty, leave "Full page of same label" selected, and
click the New Document button. This creates a document containing a table --
if you can't see the edges of the cells, click Table > Show Gridlines. Each
cell is the size of one card.
Set up the text of the card in one cell. One hint here: If you want the
contents centered both vertically and horizontally, right-click the cell and
select Cell Alignment, then click the center picture in the popup menu.
Select the completed cell and copy it to the clipboard. Then select the
whole table and paste, which will fill in the other cells. Save this
document, and print as many copies as you need.
If you need to include a logo or graphic on each card, see
