subdivide page - like in word perfect

In word perfect you could format a page to be "subdivided" this would
actually show lines on your page subdividing it in however many sections you
needed. Each section would then act as a page. You could change the margins
and it would would apply for each section. Example, if I wanted to get 4
postcards on a page, I would subdivide iinto 4 sections. Type my material in
the first box and then just copy and past the info. into the other 3. It was
super fast and everything was perfectly centered and ready to cut into fours
when printed. I cannot find anything like this on word.

Word is not Word Perfect. With Word you will have to use a table that
matches the postcard size. For postcard sheets use the envelope/label wizard
as the 'labels' are already pre-defined for standard postcard stock.

Greg answered for 4 postcards.

Word does use a similar principle, where you can create sections and change
the margins for them, if you investigate Section Breaks. But they aren't
appropriate for creating 4 postcards on a page.
See: Working with Sections in Word:

These links might not have the answer to your specific question, but you
will probably find them very useful as you switch from WordPerfect to Word.
