Adobe InDesign/Designing a 4up postcard double side

Question
I print duplex to card stock which is perforated into 1/4's and merged with addresses on reverse.  Is there an easy way to design the document 4up? or do I design one "postcard" and somehow tell it to print 4up on one sheet?  Thanks! Marlene

Answer
I think the simplest way to do this is to set up your document with four postcards on a page.

Keep your original, single postcard file separate and just put four fronts on page one of your 4up doc and four backs on page 2 of your 4up doc. For accuracy, create guides that divide the document into quarters.

Let me know if this helps.
