How do I repeat business cards?

I've changed the details in the top left-hand corner business card in the 'modern' template. How do I get it to apply to all the others on the page? Thanks.

Hey 51,

I know what you are feeling. I thought this was so poorly done, but I have found a way that works for me, since I love the way Pages works.

I start with whatever BizCard template I want. I personally usually just delete everything in one cell and make my own, but with whatever you are doing, just build your card in one cell. After I get that card looking exactly as I want, I Shift-Click on each individual item in the cell, Go to the "Arrange" menu and choose group. Once it is grouped, I then select everything from each of the other cells and delete.
Then just control-V(paste) and then reposition each pasting.
Hint: It really helped me to go to the Metrics area of Inspector and set the dimension to 3.5"x2" so the cards fit perfectly.

Good Luck and I hope I helped.

Adam

Hi Adam,

I was looking for a way to do this as well. I tried your method and it worked fine! Thank you. 51, I noticed that I had to have more than one item for "group" to show. It even showed when I click on two cards.

To delete the other cards, I clicked and dragged the mouse on the other items in cards # 3 to 10, to select them all, and one click on "delete" took care of it. Do the #2 spot separately to avoid including the first card.

Cheers.

Hugh
