I have created my personal wedding invites and I am trying to take the one
complete ready to print response card, and wondering how I make it two per 1
sheet. Works/Word Processor. Can someone help?

Oog.  Although I didn't find it especially easy to do (and it helped me
remember why I never use Works except when someone gives me a Works
file), I was able to do the following in Works Word Processor:

  - If your dataset is an Access Query instead of a Table,
    copy the Query and convert the copy to a Make-Table Query
    and run that to create a Table of the names you want to use
  - In Works Word Processor, open
    Tools --> Labels --> Mailing Labels
  - Select format "8389 Post Card", which is 2 per page
    (or specify something similar using "Custom" command button)
  - Select "New Document" command button
  - Select "Merge information from another type of file
  - Specify Files of Type = Microsoft Access (*.mdb)
  - Open your Access file
  - Select your Table (maybe the newly created one)
  - Insert the appropriate fields into your document
  - Insert other relevant text, such as "Please come",
    and appropriate artwork, such as birds & flowers
  - Use Print Preview to check that the format is correct
  - Load suitable paper and print.

Good luck.  (I suggest getting a copy of Word or Publisher, if you can.)
