subdivide page - like in word perfect
In word perfect you could format a page to be "subdivided" this would
actually show lines on your page subdividing it in however many sections you needed. Each section would then act as a page. You could change the margins and it would would apply for each section. Example, if I wanted to get 4 postcards on a page, I would subdivide iinto 4 sections. Type my material in the first box and then just copy and past the info. into the other 3. It was super fast and everything was perfectly centered and ready to cut into fours when printed. I cannot find anything like this on word. |

Word is not Word Perfect. With Word you will have to use a table that
matches the postcard size. For postcard sheets use the envelope/label wizard as the 'labels' are already pre-defined for standard postcard stock. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Mochalvr wrote: In word perfect you could format a page to be "subdivided" this would actually show lines on your page subdividing it in however many sections you needed.

Greg answered for 4 postcards.
Word does use a similar principle, where you can create sections and change the margins for them, if you investigate Section Breaks. But they aren't appropriate for creating 4 postcards on a page. See: Working with Sections in Word: These links might not have the answer to your specific question, but you will probably find them very useful as you switch from WordPerfect to Word.
