Default How do I print names and addresses on a preprinted postcard?

Thank you Graham. That was a wonderful write-up that you had, and it cleared
up a lot of my mail merge questions.

I wasn't able to make this work with letters (due to page size), so chose
the label route, and found a postcard in that menu that matches the size that
I have. Everything is working except that I can't get the name and address
to print in the lower right quarter of the postcard. MS Word wants to print
it near the top or middle right, and nothing that I do seems to correct that.
Any suggestions?

If they are individual postcards this is a straightforward letter merge. If
they are microperforated cards 3 or 4 to a sheet then it would be a label
merge. For either - http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm
should help.

I have a file that originated in MS Excel with names and addresses.
I want to send each of them a preprinted 4.25" x 5.5" postcard, and
have the printer print the address on each postcard. Using the mail
merge function of MS Word doesn't seem to be working and is just
frustrating me. Any ideas on steps to take to get this working right?
