Default Mail Merge Postcard

Ok, here's the deal. I have a mail merge of about 25 different addresses for
a postcard created (4 to a page/landscape) When you preview the mail merge
it shows the same 4 addresses on the postcard. The next will be the next
address, but 4 of them.! How do I have one address on each postcard instead
of 4 of each address. Getting frustrated here!!!!

Default Mail Merge Postcard

This was a bug in 2003. There is a test on the print screen if you are unsure.
Use plain paper for the test.

In Publisher 2007, be certain you select multiple pages per sheet. (File, Print
merge).

File, Print Merge... This screen has a test print *Print just one publication as
a test:* This bug shows all the merge items the same in print preview. The bug
is also applicable to Publisher 2002 as well as 2003.
