Printing postcards in Publisher

[Judel74]

I am doing a mail merge in publisher 2003, I am having trouble printing one side of the postcard at time. In older versions I could print all the address sides and then print the message side. Now publiser prints one sheet with the addresses and then prints the message on the next page.

Create two publications, one for the merge and the other for your message.

Not necessary. What the OP needs to do is the following.

1) Make sure the desired side is selected (either front or back)
2) Set the paper settings to 'current page'.
3) Set the desired number of copies.
4) Print.
6) Reload the paper/card, making sure the orientation is correct.
7) Switch to page two (back of postcard)
8) Make sure the settings are set as above and print.

I've been doing many postcards of late and this works.

Well, thanks very much for your advice, but I was not able to get it to work as you said. What we did was delete the second page, print them all out, and then turn the merge document into labels and put them on the other side of the post cards. Thanks again.
