Applications :: Revive Business Card Printing In Word?
Dec 18, 2010
I print my business cards from Word, using my Macbook. I use the Avery Ivory Matte business card stock, and really like the results. I like my design and have been using it for years. Lately, something is up: the cards come out dull. I've done this across several different printers, so I don't think it is the printer. I have a new one now.
I tried using new cards, same deal; comes out faded and dull when it used to be bright and vivid. Could this actually be the Word document itself?
Im looking for an application/software that i can use to design business cards with, preferably for mac, but windows works to (boot camp).
I looked around and found these

I would like to hear what you guys think about these apps or if there is anything better. I dont care if it'll cost me some $$ money is no problem, I just don't want to waste time and money on something not worth wasting time and money on.
How can I print a document in a mirror image from Word? I thought maybe just save as a PDF, open in Preview and go to tools; flip horizontal, but for some reason its greyed out.
I was thinking about buying a small scanner for general scanning, and then I heard that there are scanners aimed specifically at scanning receipts and business cards. This seems like a great idea (for archiving receipts and tracking spending, as well as filing tax returns), and I was wondering which scanner you recommended. With general scanners I've had in the past I've run into a lot of bad luck with drivers and scanner software not getting updated as the OS got updated, meaning my scanners became obsolete very quickly.
found it crashes every time I try to print or save a PDF version of my work. It's running on a Macbook pro under OSX 10.6.5, and printing to a Canon MP 150 connected to my G5 running under OSX 10.4.11. Pages prints just fine from the Macbook using the remote connection, so what the? Saw a post that talked about font weeding, which I then checked out, & found & deleted some duplicate fonts, but it didnt .
We recently updated our iBook running 10.3.9 to a MacBook running 10.5.5.
The problem we have is with Microsoft Word 2004. In a multi-page document, Word only prints the last page, unless we specifically print out each individual page.
I found a thread that identified a problem printing to HP all-in-one printers. I followed the instructions in the thread and removed everything about HP printers from our Mac. I then re-installed the HP drivers from the MacOS 10.5 install disk.
When I print a word document I created, apostrophes are printing as some strange character that looks like a small 1 with an apostrophe above it. How I can stop this?
I had hooked up the MBA SuperDrive and wanted to see, just for fun, whether the machine could boot from a Knoppix DVD. (Knoppix is a Linux distribution that can run straight off the DVD without touching the harddisk.)
I tried and it seemed to work fine, until I got stuck on a blank screen. Oh well.
I switched off the MBA by holding the power button for >4 secs and it shut down. Rebooted, and noticed that the SuperDrive didn't make any noise. Once in OS X, I didn't get an icon for the DVD. Hmm. Hitting 'eject' didn't do anything.
just converted and purchased a 21.5" iMac this weekend, he took advantage of that rebate offer on printers and picked up the black HP wi-fi printer. Anyhow he does not have an airport extreme or any type of wireless router since his iMac is right next to his modem, so he is using Ethernet.
So I tried setting up a wireless network using his internal airport card in his iMac and this worked out great i enabled internet sharing and printer sharing. For some reason when i try to connect his printer with his network it says that the network is not within reach even though the printer is right next to the iMac. Am I doing something wrong? is there something I'm missing? I know the wi-fi network is working properly because he is able to connect with his iphone and I was able to connect with my MBP.
I will be starting my own business soon, providing various IT aspects for the SME market (up to 100 employees) anything ranging from technical support, to SEO and basic web design / development, including branding. Just wondering what tools you use for your business and how you are getting on with them, could be apple apps or online tools. Normally, I am a Windows guy for "business" but only because I use MS for servers and so on.
This is what I have so far; Freshbooks for accounting Basecamp for project management Evernote for receipts/ideas/snips of text Drop box for backup / online storage of documents Quicksilver Skype

I own a small lighting rental company that rents mainly to the film industry. I am looking for some software that will assist in making invoices as well as to keep our business more organized in general (accounting, expenses, etc).
My main issue right now is that I spend all day writing up invoices manually. One piece of equipment may contain 20 accessories (all with different rental rates) so I really need a program that has excellent "autofill" functions within it's invoicing. Some of my competitors use "Peachtree" but I don't believe they make one for MAC. I would prefer not to have to run something on Virtual PC.
The other factor is that I have only one other business partner who runs the company with me. Since we often bring in jobs through our two remote workstations (laptops) we need software that we can synch together throughout the day. Basically, we need our two laptops to be in communication so that whatever expenses/invoices/etc my partner enters into his laptop will be reflected on my computer as well.
I've been doing a lot of research and feel like I'm smoking crack for not being able to find what I want. I recently started a small client-service based business that has assets. What I'd like to do is find one application that does all of the following:
- Allow me to track time by project/client/task, etc. with a built-in timer that also allows bulk input of time - Turn tracked time into invoices easily - Track my expenses and mileage - Track my assets - Integrate with my bank accounts for reconciliation of payments, transactions, etc. - Maintain all of the financials of my company (things like depreciation of assets, taxes owed, financial reports, etc.) - Light customer management - Export ability to excel, .pdf and email directly from the app - Possibility of future integration with online credit card payments
I am new to the Forum as of today. I am looking for business software or software sites where I might find business applications for my MAC and MACBook Pro. Specifically, right now, I am looking for an application that I can use to take and keep up with Business Meeting Minutes. I have Fusion and XP in a partition so I can use windows based software, but I am trying more and more to get away from the PC stuff and would really like something that works on my MAC's (Snow Leopard).
Many of the operations I perform related to business, such as setting up different tables, doing different functions, etc., are easily performed on Microsoft Excel for PC. I'm sure all of the other business professionals in this forum can agree that Excel for PC truly is the application of the business world, allowing a vast array of different functions to be performed.
However, I am simply not satisfied with Micrsoft Office for Mac 2008. I know a lot of this has to do with the suite of applications (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.) being designed to run on Mac OS X, as opposed to a Windows operating system, but the feel and functionality is completely different.
Therefore, I am considering purchasing iWork when a new version is released.. this will allow me to perform different business operations on my Mac while I don't have access to Excel for PC. I will therefore avoid the frustration of Excel for Mac.
As a businessman or businesswoman, would you recommend iWork? How do you cope with needing to perform different complex business operations when you do not have access to Microsoft Excel for PC?
I run Microsoft Office on my MacBook Pro. I routinely "print" Word documents to .pdf files. My conversions to .pdf are now resulting in two .pdf documents rather than one multipage document. For example, a two page Word document about puppies would be converted Puppies and Puppies.2 rather than just one 2-page .pdf file. A 14-page file just also saved as two separate .pdf files; the first was only one page, and the second contained the other 13 pages. This is a new problem as of tonight; I've never previously had any difficulty. It's quite frustrating, and I can't seem to determine the cause.
I handle the administrative / web / marketing for a car tuning business called Evans Tuning (get a better idea here [URL]). Currently, we have the entire office running off of Macs (iMac for the main that is backed up via Time Machine, 1 new MacBook, and 1 New MacBook Pro).
Our setup works well for now, even the tuner here uses a BlackBook to tune cars with. We use Bento for CRM and filing orders and appointments. We use Quickbooks 2007 for Mac for financials. Our calendar is managed via iCal on our website and we even use the subscriptions feature to keep our office staff up to date with the current schedule.
Now on to our current dilemma. Bento is a great program because it is simplistic in the fact that we were able to get the database up and running rather quickly and its easy to expand with whenever new fields are needed to hold more information. Unfortunately, only the main iMac in the office is running Bento and it can only be accessed by that computer. I am looking for a solution that offers the same great ease of use coupled with network-ability (not sure if thats a word), but I want to be able to have multiple users manage the database at one time. This will greatly increase productivity as one user can access for billing information, while another takes an order, or even another sets up a new appointment.
Is there something out there that I have missed? I looked into Filemaker Pro but it seems rather difficult to setup, and isn't very user-friendly looking. It probably also doesn't help that I couldn't find a good tutorial on how to set it up or use it.
I've recently started my own business and have gotten involved with a number of networking groups. I'm now sitting here with a bunch of business cards. I have a Canon CanoScan 5600F that will let me scan the cards but I can only save them as PDF, JPEG, TIFF or PICT.
Rather than recreating all these business cards by hand, is there an easy way to import all these into Address Book?
We run a small travel company, and are trying to create a relational database or something that will help with producing an itinerary for quotes/invoices and manage the bookings (i.e.: paid, confirmed etc). I have the design all mapped out on a lovely piece of paper, and I know exactly what needs to happen. However, I can't get this into computer speak! SQL etc., are beyond me, but am pretty nifty on most Office type applications. Initially the plan was MS Access... but this can't be used on a Mac...
Then I tried Open Office Base, but am finding it very different to Access - not sure if the limitations are within Base or within my knowledge (I am trying to learn). Filemaker may be an option, but it looks as if it may get a bit expensive as we would probably need Advanced (Pro 10 looks a bit basic?) - and hence why I used OOBase.
I've just got a new iMac, run a small limited company and am VAT registered, based in the UK...just wondering which accounting software is best? There doesn't seem to be many reviews on the web so thought
starting a new small business and need some first hand advice. have seen bad write-ups on quickbooks 2009 for mac and so-so opinions for myob. what about quickbooks 2010 coming out soon?
I'm looking out there for a good business management program that will help manage contacts, appointments, invoices, etc.. I have tried a few programs, but none of them have been that great.
