Therefore, today we will show you how to make your own business cards in Word so that you can print them at home at the lowest cost.

The fact is, with social media and websites, your business cards don’t need to be flashy. A simple card with your website, social media and phone number is enough to get you in the door.

Press "OK" when finished.

In the table selector, create a 2×5 grid. Click the second square from the bottom of the fifth row to perform this operation.

First, press the center icon below the font selector, and then click "Table Properties..." in the context menu.

After finishing the adjustment of the table format, click "OK".

To do this, open the "Insert" tab in the ribbon and click "Picture> This Device..."

You should also adjust the size of your image to fit the cells of your table.

You will find a size selector next to the font drop-down menu.

The font color button is located directly below and looks like an "A" with a line below.
