postcard mail merge hollydancer 4/25/2007 6:12:00 PM I am running Word 2000 and am trying to do a mail merge onto Avery 8387 postcards (4 to a sheet). All went well except 1) the merge put only one name per page instead of four (one per postcard), and 2) i would like to have my return address on each card and cannot figure out how to do that. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: postcard mail merge "Peter Jamieson" <pjj[ at ]KillmapSpjjnet.demon.co.uk> 4/25/2007 10:51:59 PM For (1) I would have a look at Graham Mayor's page at http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm (postcards are essentially the same as labels from a mailmerge perspective). You probably need to start at around "Insert the fields". For (2) it depends on the overall layout that you want, but for example, by splitting each cell into two cells stacked on top of each other, you could put your return address in the top cell, left aligned, and the names centered (say) in the bottom cell. In that case you would lose the benefit of the "Propagate Labels " function, but you can do the same stuff manually.
