Default printing double-sided mail merge postcard

Our printer does not support duplex/double-sided printing
of postcard-heavy paper. It gets jammed!

I am doing a mail merge in Publisher for a double-sided
postcard. Let's say I have 50 postcards I have to send. I
want to print one side first (one side of the mail merge
document), then flip the stack of 50 postcards over, and
print the other side (the second side of the mail merge
document). How do I do this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Do you have a mail merge on both sides?
If this is the case, when you flip it over Mary's postcard will not have Mary's
address. You will have to re-sort your address list in order for the two sides to
match up.

Were you able to get an answer?? I'm trying to print a two-sided brochure that is merged with a database and I can't get it to work! I hate this new version! Becky

To keep it simple, the easiest way would be to have two files. One for mail
merge, the other for side two.
