After nearly three weeks of trying different methods for postcards, I finally tackled the postcard beast. I tried word 2003, a mail list client, and Microsoft publisher 2007, with no success. I even had the assistance of Microsoft on the phone and shared desktop and they could not get the postcards to work.

The problem I had was the mail merge print on one side did not match the mail merge on the reverse. I went through nearly 30 sheets of plain paper trying different variations. Nothing worked. Finally tonight I threw up my hands and said to heck with publisher and got it to work via word 2007 in less then an hour.

I shrunk the page size down to postcard size, then I had to create a custom print document for postcard size. I still cannot print 2 sides automatically, but it will allow me to print two sided manually. I simply grab the stack and put it back into the feeder. No time lost at all.

20+ hours of spinning wheels to finally tackle this monster. I think my fiance thought I was a bit crazy when she heard the woohoo on the other side of the house. I just want to give a shout out to the fine folks at Coke-a-cola for their coma inducing sugar highs, Scott for making me dislike the taste of his dust, and the fine folks at Microsoft for providing me the need to buy a new hat to cover this now bald head. Without them this great feat in my little world would not have been possible.
