We've created a couple of post cards in Word 2000 (we run them on perferated
paper).  When we've opened them in Word 2003 it becomes a 2 page document -
the first page contains the same 4 postcards as in Word 2000, but the 2nd
page is blank.  Have tried to use the "shrink to fit" option - no luck, have
tried using the paragraph markings symbol to delete any characters on the
second page - nothing to delete.  How do we use what we've already created,
but maintain the single page? Or, how do we create a new blank postcard (in
Word 2003) and copy/paste the text from the old postcard into each section?
Or any other ideas?
Thanks! (hope this is the right place to post this!)

See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BlankPage.htm. If you use a label
definition from Word's Envelopes and Labels dialog, you won't run into this
problem, as it works around it.

Thanks Suzanne - that was it.  For future reference, what label definition do
we use to get a generic 4 part postcard?
Appreciate the help!

Assuming you're using landscape postcards, try Avery 3263 or 8387. For
portrait cards (such as 4-up invitations), use 5845 Note card. Choose the
appropriate one, then click New Document to get a sheet or use the Mail
Merge Wizard/Helper.
