I'm trying to use the mail merge function to print postcards for about 200
different people. The postcard fronts are already printed (2X2, 5.5X4.25).
So, when I insert merge fields (like a first name and an address line), I'm
trying to get Word to treat each of these 4 sections on one page as separate
pages, so that each cell will have a different addressee on it. Any tips?

Set this up as a Labels merge, using the appropriate Avery stock number
(such as 3263) and Word will handle the rest.

You need to insert a NEXT field code at the beginning of the second, third and
fourth cards.
