Instructions for Personalizing and Printing SkillsUSA Student Membership Cards

To print your SkillsUSA student membership list onto the SkillsUSA membership card stock that was provided in your Membership Kit, please follow these steps: We recommend your copying a few of the card sheets for testing on your printer. Proceed to using the real cards once you have your printer setup correctly. Also check your printer settings.

Download the following Microsoft Word file: SkillsUSANameCardTemplate.doc (right-click the link and choose "Save Target As...")
Go to the Membership portion of the site, and click the Export to Excel button, which will open a new web browser containing an Excel data file of your current membership.
Save this Excel file to your computer with this name and location: C:\SkillsUSAMembers.xls. (File � Save as � SkillsUSAMembers.xls) Be sure to change the File type to Excel, instead of the default HTML, and leave no spaces in the file name.
Open the Word document you saved in Step 1, which is a Microsoft Word Mail Merge Main Document, that is configured to merge with the Excel file saved at C:\SkillsUSAMembers.XLS
In Word, go to Tools > Mail Merge and click Step 3: Merge. From that point you can use typical Word Mail merge features to merge to a new document.

This template document should be very close to printing in the correct location on most HP LaserJet-compatible laser printers. You should definitely print a sample page to make sure the alignment is correct for your particular printer. You can always make adjustments to the layout, margins, etc. on this template document and then try merging again.

Each SkillsUSA section is provided with two sheets of membership cards in your Membership Kit. If you need additional membership cards for your chapter, please call SkillsUSA to request them at 800-355-8422. There are separate cards for high school members and for college/postsecondary members.

Note: This system does not apply to the SkillsUSA Professional membership card, which is personalized and mailed by the national office.

As always, if you have a question or comment, just send an email to support@skillsusa-register.org and we'll reply or investigate as soon as possible!
