MS Office Forum / Publisher / Commercial Printing / January 2008How do I print multiple mail merge contacts per page
No matter what I do, I cannot seem to print more than one contact per page (times 4) when I print post cards on the 4-card per sheet page. How do I get the next record to print, each after the other, per post card when I use the 4-post card sheets? I just get 4 post cards with the same address. Please help me!! For the merge to work you need one postcard on your screen, not four. In page setup, select postcard... Have you printed the postcards? If you have setup the page as described above and you are looking at print preview it will show all 4 cards having the same data, it is a bug.

I set it up with one page only, but when I do print preview, for mutiple adresses per page, I just see the first one multiple times (4). Does this mean I can't print the addresses then if I leave the (4) postcards attached in the one sheet? Will I have to send them through 1 card at a time as opposed to the sheet of 4 at a time? > For the merge to work you need one postcard on your screen, not four. > In page setup, select postcard...

Thanks Mary, but the bug seems to be printing out as it shows in print preview. Any other suggestions? > In print preview when you see all the cards are the same it is a bug...

There are assistant articles you might want to read to be sure your merge is setup correctly Mail and catalog merge http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/CH062524751033.aspx SignatureMary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com > Thanks Mary, but the bug seems to be printing out as it shows in print > preview.

Are you using a pre-designed Publisher postcard setup? This may be the problem. Start a new postcard setup, copy/paste the objects from the designed postcard to your new publication. The color may change but you can fix that with the color schemes task bar.

The honest best answer to this question is to go into a word document and then go to envelopes and labels. Pick the appropriate postcard size (Avery makes one of everything...look it up online for the number that matches the size you have, its always the manufactures number) anyway....create a new blank document and then go to the mail merge wizard and pick labels. Then follow the steps, enter your info, manuever it around so it looks right and then pick edit on the last step and like magic all of the postcards will have seperate addresses in each spot....Note: when entering the text for your merge select "more options" not address block....it will not end up straight otherwise. url:http://www.ureader.com/msg/1124106.aspx So, basically, this is example 263,000 of Microsoft programs that don't work with Microsoft programs. I have spent hours today trying to save 30 minutes of handwriting invitations...but was so sure that this SHOULD work, that I kept trying and reading...What I understand is that, basically, publisher cannot print 4 different addresses (recipients) on 4 postcards that will be printed on the same "sheet"? > The honest best answer to this question is to go into a word document and > then go to envelopes and labels.

If you are using Publisher 2007, File, Print Merge, be certain "Multiple pages per sheet" is selected. Also you will have better luck with postcards if you choose an Avery template in page setup.
