4-up postcards turned into mailers...
Does anyone know where I can get a template for this? I've looked on Office
online, but I don't think I'm using the right keywords. Word 2003. Cheers, Mike Whalen |

48.16: Does anyone know where I can get a template for this? I've looked on Office online, but I don't think I'm using the right keywords. Word 2003. Cheers, Mike Whalen It occurs to me I may not have explained what I am trying to do. Here's a small sketch: +---------------------------+ | G G | G G | | mt | mt | | | | +-------------+-------------+ | G G | G G | | mt | mt | | | | +-------------+-------------+ G = Graphic mt= merged text So, it's a 4-up piece, 8.5x11 landscape. Each merged text block is a NEW address, not the same address. It's a mailer, not a postcard, per se. Cheers, Mike Whalen |

Use a Label type mailmerge. for the graphics part of it, See the article
"Graphics on Labels" on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at: http://www.gmayor.com/graphics_on_labels.htm -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Thanks. What I don't seem to understand from it, though, is how it related to different graphic images in different areas of the label, plus text that should be dead center inside the label. He's using a single graphic in the background. That's okay, but it's not what I am trying to do. Am I not reading it correctly? (Probably not. ;-) |

To get the layout that you want, you may need to split the cell that
represent each postcard into a number of separate cells. Maybe first one split horizontally and then split the cell that now represents the top half into two vertically __________________________ | | | __________________________ | | __________________________ Then you put a graphic into each cell in the top row and center the address in the bottom row. Or maybe you need to split the top row into 3 horizontally. There is not doubt that it can be done, just takes a bit of imagination. -- Hope this helps.
