2-Page Mail Merge Custom Document

[Cara Showers]

I'm trying to print a 4-up postcard (1/2 page on 11x17
paper) that is has a mail merge on one page and grahics on
the other. I get the standard "Publisher cannot merge with
this number of pages." error message. Does anyone know of
a work around? Other than their FAQ suggestion to use a
pre-defined page layout. I need to use "Custom" so that
the 8.5" x 5.5" postcard will print 4-up on an 11" x 17"
sheet of paper.

HELP?!?!?!

I tried what you suggested. I still get the same error
message. It tells me I can't have a 2-page, custom-sized
document with a mail merge. The reason I have to do custom
sized is because if I don't it will only give me 3-up
(using the standard "1/2 page" postcard size). But to make
best use of the paper, I want to fit 4 postcards (each
8.5" x 5.") onto an 11x17 sheet of paper. I went to the
FAQ for this error message and the resolution for the
problem is to delete the extra page. But there's got to be
a work-around.

HELP!

You cannot have a two-page merge, however you can merge the address side, create the
other side in a new publication, turn your merged cards over and print.
