Printing a postcard mail merge in Pub 2002

[DGM]

Hey everyone....

I am trying to print a small postcard mailer in Publisher 2002; about 200
separate postcards, 2 up on a page. I have a brand new HP colour laser
printer 1500L that supports duplex printing.

I cannot understand why I cannot print ONLY the front side of the postcards
first, then take that stack of postcards with the front printed on it, turn
the stack over, insert that stack into my printer tray, and then ask
Publisher 2002 to print the address side of the postcard.

Just wonder if anyone knows how to successfully do this without having to
create two separate files for front side of postcard and back side of
postcard?

I've noticed that without the mail merge, Publisher does give you the option
to print either the front or back of the postcard (pg. 1 or 2), but when you
add the mail merge, this option is nowhere to be found in the print dialog
box that comes up.

I would truly appreciate your help and thank everyone who reads this for
taking the time to do so.

Cheers,

DGM

I have a Phaser 7300 color printer that duplexes, but it will only duplex
plain paper. It will not duplex anything heavier than that. That could be
the situation with yours as well.
