Default Postcard merge 4 addresses for 4 postcards per page?

I am doing a 2 sided postcard Merged to over 300 addresses. I printed a ton
of just the first side, and wanted to merge page 2 where the address info
would go. the merge worked but instead of only printing the page with the
merge info it printed both sides, so I ended up alternating with a good page
of four diff address postcards, and then a page with four postcards with only
the front on both pages.

When I tried deleting the first page to prevent this from happening, the
Merge started printing the same address 4 times on each page. Any way to get
this to work so it will print multiple addresses per page instead of one
address on four postcards per page? I have wasted a bunch of good paper on
this already. All help is appreciated.

That's because the different records on one page trick only works with
Print Merge, not when printing a pre-merged publication.

See above.
