How do I print 4 addresses per page for postcards in Publisher 200

Print preview shows the four same addresses per page and prints out the same
addresses per 4-postcard page. Help please!

How many cards do you have on your screen when you print? Are you using mail
merge? You can only have one card on your screen when you mail merge, print
preview will show all 4 being alike, this is a Publisher bug.

Hi, Mary.
I've given up trying to print 2-sided 4 addresses/page postcards. I was
going to print page one/the front of the postcards separately, then print the
addresses separately onto the back of the "front" postcards. However, the
single page addresses are forcing me to print 2-sided. Please help. I'm at
wit's end here.

Don't give up, Neald8, it is not hard. When you merge postcards you are going to
find it easier to have two files, one file for the merge and one file for the
postcard message.

If you are trying to have "Bob Smith" on the address side and "Dear Bob" on the
other; this is when problems set in. But if this is not the case then it is a
simple operation.

Read this article, it explains mail merge far better than I can:

Pay close attention to how to setup your data.

I couldn't get templates to print correctly either, but I finally figured it
out.

Design your postcard. Do your merge. Your postcard should be two pages. One
page with the design and the other page the mailing information. The key is
in the print set-up, not the merge.

Select: "Print Merge."
Select: "print multiple pages per sheet"
Paper Size: "letter"
Orientation: "Landscape"
2-Sided Printing Options: "two-sided, flip short side"

The result is an 8 1/2 x 11 paper with two post card designs along the left
and two DIFFERENT addresses (a,b) along the right on paper side. If you flip
the paper over, like turning a page in a book, you have postcard designs
along the left again and two more different address (b,c) along the right.
When you cut them, you get 4 postcards with the same design on one side and 4
different address (a, b, c, d) on the other.

Finally success!
