- Why print on standard trading card size?
- There are many products available for storing and displaying 2.5" x 3.5" cards. The BSA cards are beautiful but the extra 1/4 inch of height on the BSA cards make them just tall enough not to fit in holders designed to hold baseball cards.
*Fully-licensed version removes watermark on printing

With the automatic (exe) installers, you may see a warning about the install file, depending on your security settings and ant-virus software. This is expected and safe to download and run. If you see this warning, click "More Info" and "Run Anyway" to install.
However, if you are not comfortable with that, you may download the zipped folders and copy the folder structure to a location on your PC, preferably "My Documents". You will need to put it in a "Trusted Location" on your PC or you will get a warning every time you run it. It is safe so you can confidently dismiss the warning.
If you use the zipped folders, you will need to:
- Run the ImageUtility.exe which is located in the addin folder.
- Have Access 2016 (or the free 2016 runtime) previously installed
TroopAwards currently only supports 32-bit versions of MS Office (which is the most commonly used and recommended even with 64-bit Windows). You can run the free program as long as you wish … it is fully functional, but will have "Trial Copy" on the awards print-outs.
