MS Office Forum / Publisher / Programming / July 2006Can Publisher send a mutliple page merge document as a single doc
I'm printing reminder postcards 4-up on 8.5 x 11 sheets. Let's say, for example, I have 200 postcards (50 sheets). I use Publisher to merge my variable data. Rather than sending a single file with 50 pages, Publisher sends 50 individual documents to the printer. Is there any way to have Publisher send this as a single doc with multiple pages? Thanks! > I'm printing reminder postcards 4-up on 8.5 x 11 sheets. Let's say, for > example, I have 200 postcards (50 sheets). I use Publisher to merge my > variable data.

Yep. (Registry fix courtesy of KATMA) Open registry using regedit.exe Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\[Publisher Version].0\Publisher\Printing Create new "string value" called: NumberOfRecordsPerBatch Double click and set a value for your batch size. Replace [Publisher Version] with your Publisher version number. 10 is Publisher 2002, 11 is Publisher 2003.  SignatureEd Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org Thanks Ed! I just downloaded the beta version of Publisher 7. Do you know if the instructions you supplied are the same for this version of Publisher?

I haven't tested the instructions in the beta, but they should work if you use "12.0" as the version. Please post back with your results. SignatureEd Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org Ed...It'll be the first of next week before I can test the print job. Meanwhile, in your instructions you state "Double click and set a value for your batch size." What determines this value? The largest job I usually print may have close to 3,000 postcards - or 750 sheets. Based on this, what should this value be? Thanks so much for your help! > > Thanks Ed!

Failing that, an arbitrarily large number (e.g. 16383 or 32767). SignatureEd Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org Ed...There wasn't a "Printing" sub-folder under Publisher. But there was a "Preferences", so I placed the statement there. This folder other items such as "CatDialogPaneWidth", "DefaultTextFlow", etc., so I thought this was probably the right place. > > Ed...It'll be the first of next week before I can test the print job. > > Meanwhile, in your instructions you state "Double click and set a value for [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > I would try zero first.
