Postcards changing to 2 pages in Word2003?
We've created a couple of post cards in Word 2000 (we run them on perferated
paper). When we've opened them in Word 2003 it becomes a 2 page document - the first page contains the same 4 postcards as in Word 2000, but the 2nd page is blank. Have tried to use the "shrink to fit" option - no luck, have tried using the paragraph markings symbol to delete any characters on the second page - nothing to delete. How do we use what we've already created, but maintain the single page? Or, how do we create a new blank postcard (in Word 2003) and copy/paste the text from the old postcard into each section? Or any other ideas? Thanks! (hope this is the right place to post this!) |

See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BlankPage.htm. If you use a label
definition from Word's Envelopes and Labels dialog, you won't run into this problem, as it works around it. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks Suzanne - that was it. For future reference, what label definition do
we use to get a generic 4 part postcard? Appreciate the help! "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BlankPage.htm.

Postcards changing to 2 pages in Word2003?
Assuming you're using landscape postcards, try Avery 3263 or 8387. For
portrait cards (such as 4-up invitations), use 5845 Note card. Choose the appropriate one, then click New Document to get a sheet or use the Mail Merge Wizard/Helper. -- Suzanne S.
