My experience has shown me that once you tell Word(2010) to print four
per page, or more than two it incorrectly prints them horizontally
across the page rather than vertically as it would need to be to be able
to fit all four 4.25x5.5" postcards on one page.
But not only have I been told this can be done(without given
instructions) I've found several available templates for four postcards
per page which print out correctly vertically as they are, but I haven't
put my postcards on these template yet as I don't see how that will work
either as I'm only familiar with using mail merge with one set of merge
fields, so suppose I put in the merge fields for the addresses in the
first instance of my postcard, well I imagine that will print out just
fine, but what about the other three addresses?

Thanks. What happens is that once you tell it to print more than 2 per page or reverts to print portrait. But I found a different workable method:
Create a single landscape page of a 2x2 table as you'd find in any of the many available templates for 4 per page flyers /postcards and use the next command after each of your mail merge field entries (for anyone interested) and that works.
