Use a preformatted postcard 'label' format or create a 'label' format to
match your postcards and run a mailing label merge which will set the layout
for you. Alternatively, create a form letter merge duplicate the layout on
your page and add a next record field before the second layout.

What part of my advice did you follow?
Don't put fields in text boxes, use tables or frames.
