EDIT: OOPS! The instructions below assumed you were using the Business Card Template in Pages '09. Seing as you've posted this question in the AppleWorks discussion area, it's more likely that you are using the Database module in AppleWorks. Instructions for that application are in my second post below.
B
Read all steps below before starting, then go through the steps in sequence.
- Select all of the elements of the one you have created. Go Arrange > Group.
- Copy.
- Press command-A to select all.
- Command-click on the completed card to deselect it.
- With everything except the original card selected, press delete to clear the form.
- Paste (to paste the copy you have made of the original card).
(If you did not copy the original:
(Select the original. Press command-D to duplicate it.) - Use the mouse and the alignment guides to position the duplicate in the top right space on the template. (This assumes the original is in the top left space.)
- Move the mouse pointer to the original, then command-click to add it to the selection.
- Go Arrange > Group
- Press command-D four times to create four more pairs of cards.
- Use the mouse to drag the last-created pair to the bottom row of the template, and left to align with the top pair (indicated by the appearance of alignment guides).
- Go Arrange > Align > Left
- Go Arrange > Distribute Objects > Vertical.
Each card should now be in the center of its space. If not, select each individually and perform minor adjestments using the mouse and/or the arrow keys.
NOTE: Depending on the template, you may see a set of small x s when you Select All. These are the handles of a large, locked object. Command-click on the object to remove it from the selection before attempting the last two steps in the list.
Regards,
Barry

If this card was created usng a Labels Layout in an AppleWorks Database document:
You will have created the card in the Layout mode of the document. When you are happy with the design, press shift-command-B to go to Browse mode. Then go Window (menu) > Page View
In Browse mode, you will see one copy of the card for each record in your database.
If you see only one card, then you have only one (visible) record in your document. To see more cards, you will need to add more records.
Select the record containing the one card, then press command-D repeatedly to create as many records as needed to fill one page of cards.
Save.
Regards,
Barry
