To make cards in Word, start by opening a new document and selecting the 'Mailings' tab. Next, choose 'Labels' within the 'Create' group. Click on 'Options', select the type of product you're creating (e.g., Avery products), and then choose the specific product number that matches your card stock. Click OK, and then 'New Document' to open a template. Populate your template with text, images, or other designs. Finally, print a test page on plain paper to ensure proper alignment before printing on your card stock.
