Why Do I Get 16 copies of a postcard on a page when I only want 4?

I've tried all the settings, and in several places, I
have put "2 columns x 2" and "four per sheet," with
a "sheet" being an 8 1/2" sheet of paper, plus several
other attempts. Each time, all I get is an 8 1/2 x 11"
sheet of paper with 16 copies of the postcard, 4 copies
per quarter page.

Also, I can't "turn off" whatever it takes to stop
getting copies of both pages of the postcard on a single
8 1/2 x 11" sheet of stock. I want only the front page
on one sheet of paper and the back page on the 2nd piece
of paper.

This all used to happen easily, as I did a postcard
before, but it seems the multiple-pages-on-one-page and
4-copies-per-quarter-page problem is new with this new
postcard attempt. HELP!

Are all your postcards going to be the same?
Page setup, postcard, landscape (if 2000 or below, special size and then postcard).
When you go to print in 2000 and below, check the "Page Options", to be sure you see
four on the page. Also tick current page, that way you can turn the card over and
print whatever you created for the back.
If each card is to be different then you will have to create the page differently. In
arrange select two rows and two columns. Set the margins to zero. This will give you
the layout. Keep in mind your printer margin limitations.
