Because 8389 puts two such cards on a single page.
If you are using individual cards, I think I would just set the page size to
6 x 4 (which is a standard page size) - and which is probably what you had
originally? However it is not a good plan to use the enter key to move to
the next page, it makes formatting a nightmare.
I might even put the texts in a table
(
http://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels...mail_merge.htm ) and mailmerge
them into a blank document of the required size and layout .

Hi Doug
Thanks for that advice. I had searched for a template but I couldn't
find the 6x4". Now I know what it's called.
By the way, why is the page size listed as letter? And yet the
postcard size is 6x4"?
You should NOT repeatedly press the return key to get to the next
page.
You should base your document on the Avery 8389 - Postcard that you
can access via ToolsLetters and MailingsEnvelopes and Labels, then
click on the Options button and select that label from the list,
then click on the New Document button. That will give you a page.
By default, the text that is entered into such a label is centered
vertically.

Hi
I'm using Word 2003 and I am using 6x4" index cards. I have about
20 cards in one document with a short piece of text on each card. I
had the vertical
alignment set to 'centre' so that each time I inserted a new page
break, or
repeatedly pressed the return key to get to the next page, the text
would always be dead centre.
But then I changed the vertical alignment to 'top'. But when I hit
the space
bar at the beginning of the first line of text on the first index
card (in order to take it down a bit from the header) the text shot
on to the next index card. When I tried to backspace the text to
get it on to the first index card again, it wouldn't move. I can't
figure out what is going on. Can
anyone help?
