I have a database of 50 names that I would like to print out as individual
labes on a standard 81/2" X 11" sheet of paper. I would like 10 labels per
page and can work out the page layout in Publisher 2002. When I go to merge
my Works database of the 50 names, I obviously only have one "field" to
insert. As you can see where this is going, when I do my merge, I get a
sheet with 10 labels of the same name. How do I get it to merge a different
name in each label? I went to the following websites:
http://www.kvalheim.org
http://www.users.bigpond.com/auslandline/publisher/

and I am sorry, but didn't find them to be very clear as to how to do it. I
downloaded the sample raffle ticket project and tried to follow the
instructions but couldn't figure out how to create field 2, field3, etc...

Can someone point me to a step by step simplified set of instructions to
accomplish my taks?

John

John,

The following link is the exact steps as to how this is
completed. The only difference being the page is setup
for 10 up business cards instead of your labels.

Brian, thank you so very much. The tutorial worked perfect. What was
throwing me off was the Print Preview was only showing the first entry in
each label. Following the instructions got me past that and it worked just
as I wanted.

Thanks again,

John
