He all,

Consider the attached screenshot.

I would like to create a LaTeX document with the same eight "cells". How do I do that? Should I maybe use a minipage or are there smarter and/or more elegant ways of doing it?

Thank you in advance!

Seems like you want to do some kind of flashcards. There are some packages which support that [1]. But you can do this layout in another way. Assumed that your paper size is A4, just create a PDF document with default paper size A6 in landscape format where every page represents one of these "cells". Create another document with default paper size A4 and place all these "cells" on one page by the pdfpages packages. The package manual shows how to frame each page (or "cell", respectively).

Thank you very much!

I will have a look at it tonight and then tell you about the result.

The `trick' with pdfpages + A6 paper with landscape is nice!

It all worked out perfectly for me. Thank you very much for helping me!
