I have one doc with three pages: the first two are
essentially header pages that only need to be shown at the
beginning of the entire merge, while the last page needs
to be expanded into multiple pages according to the number
of records merged (i.e. number of recipients, etc.). Is
it possible to do this? I've tried various breaks to no
avail.

I would like to keep it in one doc as the final product
needs to be one doc.

Thanks,

Michelle

Hi Michelle,

The easiest thing will be to insert the two header pages after the merge has
been performed. Another way, might be to select the first two pages in the
Mailmerge Main Document, and format the Font as Hidden, execute the merge,
the turn on the display of hidden text so that you can select the first two
pages of the merged document and select them a remove the hidden formatting
from the font, then turn the display of hidden text back off.
