Mailmerge, Addressblock, and 4x6 Postcards

[Infoman via OfficeKB.com]

Hi...

I hope someone can help me with this...it's driving me up the wall!

Here's the scenario...

For a direct mailing, I'm using 4x6 postcards. I have them designed exactly
the way I want in MS WORD 2003. It's formated like this:

Left top: Name, return address, phone/fax/email info

Left middle: A few lines of text that go, say, half way through the line on
each line (to leave room on the middle RIGHT for the merged address block)

Bottom left AND right...Ending lines of text, full lines.

Right top - Empty space for postage (may be printed by STAMPS.COM API)

Right Middle - Empty Space where I would like my Address Block

So, what's happening is...the address block is merging my information
correctly...BUT, I'm trying to leave that entire block in the right middle of
the card; when the block is inserted, it wraps around to the next line, which,
of course, messes up all the text I have in the Left middle. No matter what
I've tried, I haven't been able to get that address block to STAY PUT in the
Right middle. If I can do that, I'm good to go.

Does anyone have a suggestion or help on this? It would be GREATLY!!!!
appreciated.

Thanks!

Andy

Instead of using the addressblock, insert the individual mergefields in the
configuration that you want them to appear.
