MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / March 2007Merge data with 2 forms on one page
We have 2 forms, side-by-side in column format. At the top of each, are merge fields. When I use the "Next" field, it goes to the next record on the page, but then repeats the 2nd record on the next page. I've tried putting "NEXT" about everywhere I can think. Can this be done? I either get two records the same on a page or two different records on the same page with the next page repeating the second record of the previous page. Use a two cell table to make the 'columns' Put a next record field at the top of the second cell only or Use columns and put the 'form' in only the first column. Set the document type to Directory/Catalog and merge to a new document. Make sure that the two columns line up.

I used the second method and it worked great! I do have one question, though. Why does it not show correctly in the "preview merge" when I use the Wizard, but it works great when I merge to a new document? Just wondering, for future reference. > Use a two cell table to make the 'columns' Put a next record field at the > top of the second cell only [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > records on the same page with the next page repeating the second > > record of the previous page. Preview the merge does work but maybe does not produce what you think it is supposed to produce - as it only shows one record at a time. For the complete view you must merge to a new document.
