Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word is also NOT one of our favorite programs; If you can design your file in ANY OTHER format, please do so. We'll take the file AS IS, however, if you have no other choice. Microsoft Word allows NO option for export; therefore, using MS Word for high quality printing requires advanced skill for extracting the card design. We charge a $10 per side fee to convert your Word files to print-ready format, so if you wish to avoid these charges, and you know how to convert Word files to TIFF or vector format, feel free to do so. Make sure your TIFF or vector files follow our basic design guidelines before you submit them. We can make sure you get good quality prints with Microsoft Word files, but it's a more painstaking process for us compared to other program files.

Do NOT save as any other format. Here are a few helpful guidelines to follow when preparing your Pagemaker files for submission to us:

Obviously, make sure you follow our Basic Guidelines for designing your card, such as bleed requirements, document size, color mode, etc...
For PC users, include in your ZIP or STUFFIT file ALL FONTS used in the design.
For Mac users: we can NOT use your font files, so your best bet would be to design your card with EXTREMELY popular or common fonts.
Make SURE you compress all relevant files mentioned above using WINZIP for PC's, or STUFFIT for Mac's. For more on these compression utilities, visit the "Compressing Your Files..." section of this site.

Feel free to contact us via email at sales@namecardprint.com if you're still not clear on preparing your Microsoft Word Files.
