Is it possible, in making postcards that are 4 to a sheet, to do a
mailmerge. There would be 4 places on each postcard to merge an address, and
I just can't figure it out. I know I can go along with making up labels, but
printing on the card looks so much nicer.
I'm using MS Excel 2000 as my data source, Word 2000 for the mailmerge.
I've done a search of this sight for postcard and didn't find anything.
TIA for any and all your help!

Use a label type mailmerge where the dimensions of the labels match your
post cards.

As far as Word is concerned this is a label mailmerge. Word doesn't care
what type of paper you print the merge on. There are postcard formats
pre-defined, or you can create your own.
