I have a half page document - that I'd like to print 2 per page with mail merge fields..... So - each half page would have a seperate record of mailmerge data. Is there a way to get them to print on the same page? Basically I'm printing on cardstock - and want to cut them into half to create game cards for a tournament. Each card would have a different team name on it - and I've got the team names stored in the mail merge data ........ I don't want to waste half the page... or print first on paper - then cut /paste to then photocopy on the cardstock....

Is there a way?

Thanks
Sally

The simplest plan is to use a label format - either locate a two to the page
label from the hundreds of label patterns available in Word, or create your
own custom label - then do a mailing label merge.

Use a label type mailmerge, selecting the appropriate label type that gives
you two per page.
