Does anyone know where the Wizard is for creating Business Cards? On
the Help Menu it mentions the Content, Layout and Theme tabs. Where are
these? I have run the Setup Assistant but still can't find them.
Any help would be most appreciated.

There is no Wizard to create Business Cards. However there are several
Business Card templates available that will fill most of your information
automatically if you have your address book information up-to-date. Look in
the Project Gallery under "Business Forms -> Business Cards"

I've tried using a Template and have changed it to suit my needs.
However the details on the new one do not transfer to all the cards on
the full sheet. How do I get all the cards on the sheet to show the
same details?
Regards
Joe

What template are you using. What version of Word are you using?

Ok, and what information that is in your addressbook isn't being
automatically propagated to your card. The templates weren't designed to
automatically display all addressbook data, just the most common. If you
have anything missing you could add it to one card and then copy and paste
to the rest..

Matt, sorry about the delay getting back.
I'm not trying to use my AddressBook. I just want to amend a template
with my details so that I can print off sheets containing a number of
Business Cards all of them being the same. Any ideas how I can do this?
Regards
Joe

Yep:

1. Launch Word
2. In the Project gallery choose "Business Forms -> Business Cards"
3. Double-click the business card template you like best
--> It opens
4. Look at the business cards. If you like what you see, then simply print
as many copies as you'd like.

If you don't like what you see and want to change something then:
A) Click on the text you'd like to modify, and modify it.
B) Once done modifying one of the business cards, select the text in that
table cell (they are in table cells) and paste to all the other table cells.

Is there any way to create one card and automatically update the other
cards on the sheet? I can do the copy and paste thing but it's very
time consuming. I've tried using Labels but you can't formatt in the
Labels dialogue box to your own design.
