Avery postcards, blank second page
jimt 5/12/2007 1:31:00 PM
I've created a mail merge for the my town office for sending out post cards
using the Avery 4-cards/page. Everything was working fine for them until
about a week ago. Now there is a 2nd (blank) page so when they print a second
sheet is cycled through the printer.

The second page has a paragraph marker but I can not delete it like a normal
word doc that would eliminate the second page. I've tried adusting the
gutters (top and bottom currently at .5) while the margins are already set at
"0" for the top and bottom. The achor for the cells is already at the
top-right corner so the cells can not be moved up.

I don't know what the town cleck could have done to cause the "spill over"
to the second page and everything I've tried has not eliminated the second
page.

Any suggestions/help...

Thanks
Jim T.

Have a look at File|Page Setup and see if the layout has been changed to be
a double-sided layout, or one where there is an odd or even page section
break.

Make sure that you do not have a header footer/even an empty one in your
normal.dot template.
