Publisher cannot merge with this # of pages

[Jeff Bryant]

I am trying to do a 2 sided 8.5" x 5.5" postcard to be printed on 11x17
paper. When I do the mail merge and then print, I get the message posted in
the subject line!??! Please help.

Thanks,
Jeff

WIll it work better if I setup as Avery postcard? I had no problem duplexing
and mail merging on smaller cards, 4 up on 8.5" x 11". But as soon as I
went to the larger cards, 11x17, it all went south quickly!! Thanks!

Jeff, the article suggested your doing separate publications for each side. I
think this would be the way to go, you would have a lot less grief.
