If you have Publisher, that will be much easier than trying to do it in Word.
If you don't have Publisher, then the key is that Word treats business cards as
a specific type of label.
First, go to a stationery or business supply store and buy the card stock you
plan to use. It should either be Avery brand or have an indication of which
Avery stock number it's equivalent to.
In Word, go to Tools > Letters and Mailings > Envelopes and Labels > Labels (in
Word 2007, it's Mailings > Labels). Click the Options button and choose the
proper stock number for the cards you bought.
It's probably easiest to leave the Address box of the Labels dialog blank and
click the New Document button. That gives you a document with an empty table
(click Table > Show Gridlines if needed). Write and format the card in the top
left cell. Then copy the cell, select the whole table, and paste to fill all the
other cells with the same thing.
If you want graphics on your cards, see
