I wanted to thank you for your help. I did set it up as a label and it
worked. It took some trial and error, but I finally got it. Thank you very
much!

As far as Word is concerned 3-up postcards are labels. Start by creating a
label merge and insert your data in the first label and propagate to the
others as shown in http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm

I put a Next field at the start of cards 2 and 3, and it did put the
correct data into the merge fields (one hurdle overcome), but now
it's starts the next postcard (with new data) immediately after the
last piece of data on the first card. I have 2 columns of
information..1st column is our address, various client info/reminders
and a message, the 2nd column is just for the client address. The
client address position changes depending on how many lines the 1st
column uses. Is there a way to Lock the position of the client
address so it doesn't shift up...possibly allowing the 2nd & 3rd
postcards to print on their respective pages? I tried to lock the
address field using Ctrl F11, but then it didn't allow the merge data
to be entered. Thank you for your help!

If you have it as a form letter merge, you'll need a Next record
field at the start of cards 2 and 3.

I am trying to use 3 part postcard paper (8 1/2 x 11 paper with 3
separate postcards per page) to do a mail merge in Word 2002. I've
got it almost working, but I can't get it to print the next set of
merge data in the 2nd and 3rd postcard sections. It does merge the
data correctly, but each set of data is printed on a separate page.
