At events with many participants, name tags help people remember each other's names.
Steps
- Open Create Business Cards / Name Cards.
- Choose the "Name tag (100×70 mm)" size. The text is larger.
- Choose "From a list".

> Hanako Sato,Treasurer
> Ichiro Suzuki

About the count
- 8 name tags fit on a page.
- The list can have up to 60 people, which is 8 pages.
- On the last page, leftover slots stay blank.
Writing names
- If two people share a family name, include the given name too.
- For hard-to-read names, use the reading field (in "Same card" mode, one card at a time).
Printing and preparing
- If you use tag holders, check that the size fits first.
- Thicker paper resists bending.
Also usable as place cards
To make a folded card that stands on a table, make it centered, print it and fold it in half.
Personal information
Put in the list only what is fine to show on a tag. Tags are seen by others, so it is safer not to include things like email addresses.
