Double sided merge & duplex print
Thanks, Doug! From where do I begin this process?

The following code was put together for someone who wanted to compile a
document by taking alternate pages from separate files. If you were to
execute two separate mail merges to individual documents, you could use this
code to then combine them into one.
Dim sourcea As Document, sourceb As Document, target As Document, Pages
As Integer, Counter As Integer, targetrange As Range 'targetrange added
Dim evenpage As Range
Set sourcea = Documents.Open(FileName:="...")
sourcea.Repaginate
Pages = ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropert yPages)
MsgBox Pages
Set sourceb = Documents.Open(FileName:="...")
Set target = Documents.Add
target.PageSetup.LeftMargin = sourcea.PageSetup.LeftMargin
target.PageSetup.RightMargin = sourcea.PageSetup.RightMargin
target.PageSetup.TopMargin = sourcea.PageSetup.TopMargin
target.PageSetup.BottomMargin = sourcea.PageSetup.BottomMargin
target.AcceptAllRevisions
Counter = 0
While Counter Pages
sourcea.Activate
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\page").Range.Copy
Set targetrange = target.Range
targetrange.Start = targetrange.End
targetrange.Paste
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\page").Range.Cut
sourceb.Activate 'Assumed to be the document containing the even
pages
Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory 'Line of code added to start from the
end of the document
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\page").Range.Copy

I've been searching for hours and can't figure this out!
I need to layout two unique 4x6 postcards on an 8.5x11 sheet with
different
text on the backside. Side 1 has a return address and the recipient
address.
Side 2 has dear recipient first name and one or two unique merge fields
along
with non-merged text and an image. I'm merging from Excel and each record
is
on a single line. The final merged doc needs to be page 1 - the first two
postcards, page 2 - the back side of the first two postcards, page 3 - the
third and fourth postcards, page 4 - the back side of the third and fourth
postcards, etc. I can't get side 2 to populate from Excel. I thought about
just making two docs and print side one then side two on the backside, but
I
need to duplex the print job so I can't.
Thanks for the help!
