Hi,

I'd like to print a folded A4 landscape two-column booklet using Word XP.

I'm able to get my merge fields from an Access XP mdb.

I have simulated multiple columns by linking two textboxes on the word merge
template so that the merged data spills over to the next column on the same
page.

My problem is that each record prints on a different page. I want my merged
date to fill column 1, then column 2, then next page column 1, 2, etc,  not
on separate pages

How can I get all the records to merge in booklet format as paragraphs.

Also, if there is a site that details word 2002 mail merge automation from
vba, please let me know the link.

Maybe by use of a Directory type mailmerge main document.

A directory/catalog mail merge puts the records one after the other as space
will allow on the same page, as opposed to a form letter which puts each
record on its own page. The third option is mailing labels, which puts each
record in a table cell. Change the document type.
