WIll it work better if I setup as Avery postcard? I had no problem duplexing
and mail merging on smaller cards, 4 up on 8.5" x 11". But as soon as I
went to the larger cards, 11x17, it all went south quickly!! Thanks!

Jeff, the article suggested your doing separate publications for each side. I
think this would be the way to go, you would have a lot less grief.
