How to Add Graphics to a Business Card Using Word
Business cards may be tiny cardboard rectangles but they pack a punch in their small space. Used to exchange contact information, business cards are a great way to pass along your details to potential customers and clients. But business cards need not be all business; capture attention by adding a graphic to your current card. Graphics may be your company logo, a picture of something that represents your services or something abstract. With the aid of Microsoft Word, you can quickly add an image to your cards and head out seeking new business.

Resize the image by grabbing its corner and pulling it towards the middle of the image, which shrinks it. Drag the graphic into place on the card into the top left corner. The rest of the text on the card will automatically adjust; you may have to highlight the text and use the text toolbar at the top of the Word screen to resize the words, which may be cut off due to the graphic taking up room on the card.

Use your cursor to highlight all of the text and the new graphic on the card. Press "Ctrl+C" keys to copy it. Highlight all of the text on the next card on the page, then press the "Ctrl+V" keys to paste the new card directly over the original. Repeat this to paste over all of the cards on the page so each card has the graphic.

Pull down the "File" menu and click "Save As." Give the file a new name; don't save it on top of the original in case you ever want to access the non-graphical cards again.
