Default Postcard Mail Merge - 4 per page difficulties

OK - I just spent 45 minutes reading through all the old posts and trying
different things. Finally, I went to WORD and made the back of the postcards
using an Avery Label and now I will print the fronts in Publisher by just
turning the paper over for the printer. This whole thing is insane.
Hopefully Microsoft will fix this in future versions of Publisher. It would
be sweet if it worked well by merging 4 records on one page or by allowing
you to insert your own "next field" merge code. (Word Perfect lets you do
that.)

Thanks for all of your help and suggestions through past entries!

I am trying to merge 50 records onto the postcards I have created (4 to a
page/landscape) When I print them, they all merge, but you get four of the
exact same address per page. How do I have one address on each postcard
instead of 4 of each address. I'm going crazy! I read over past questions
and it is not just a glitch in print preview, it actually does print 4. I
just did it! Can I change a setting somewhere to fix this?

I also tried creating my own four per page design with my own merge boxes,
but I can not find a way to add the next record field you need to get it
to go to the next box. It prints four of the same per page there as well!

HELP. I hope someone know the answer to this
