    If you're using a template, you'll need to choose a template that doesn't automatically update the rest of the cards. If you're creating a card from scratch using a table, you can make each cell a different card.

    How do I make a double sided business card in MS Word?
    Community Answer
    1) If your printer supports it, make a second page the exact same, minus your back detail and especially in the centre, so it aligns. When you print, it has an option for single or double sided and choose double. 2) Make a second Word document for the back side and when you print your sheet, put it back in the printer flipped over so and print the back side document.
