Mail merge not including all records on print Boppy <therealboppy[ at ]yahoo.com> 12/28/2008 5:16:36 AM Hi guys, I've spent months trying to get a greeting card template to work properly with Mail Merge Office 07. I have created an A4 page with 1 column and 2 rows: this is an image of my setup: https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/403824/word%20merge%20fault.jpg No matter how many records I select, I never get a merged doc with all records included. In today's exercise, I chose six records, ensured they all appeared under Preview then hit "merge to new doc". Only four of them came through. If I create a template with one record per page, it's fine - all records come through, but then I have to muck about deleting the page break to fit two on a A4 page. Surely if I can merge address labels 20 to a page, a merge file with 2 to a page shouldn't be too hard. What am I doing wrong? Please help me sort this out? thanks in advance, Jo

Re: Mail merge not including all records on print "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" <dkr[ at ]REMOVECAPSmvps.org> 12/28/2008 6:44:38 AM Delete the <<Next Record>> field from the second row. Or better, move it before the first mergefield in that row and delete it from the first row. -- Hope this helps.
