the Layout Options button becomes available allowing you to adjust the margin
guides to increase or decrease the number of copies of your publication that can fit

two pages — each page contains a different business card — and you select

Compliments Cards.

Print multiple pages on each sheet

When you want to print labels, name tags, or business cards, it is usually
most efficient to print a whole series on a single sheet. You can do that in Publisher
from the Multiple pages per sheet option in the Print page. When you choose this
option, the Layout Options button becomes available allowing you to adjust the
margin guides to increase or decrease the number of copies of your publication that
can fit on a single sheet of paper. For example, if you have a set of 10 post-cards
with different information on each and you select Multiple pages per sheet and one
copy, then all ten pages will print on the one sheet of paper.
