MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / January 2005How do I mail merge to have different names on the main document?
I'm sending out invitations and I have four to a page. With mail merge it changes the name on every page and I want to change the name on each invitation, I'm ending up with four invitations to the same person. I have used the letter format as I have graphics in the invitation. You need to insert a <<Next Record>> field before the first mergefield in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th invitations.

I am having a similar problem. I am trying to merge addresses onto a postcard template. The template has a text box for the address separate from the text box for the message. Every time I insert the 'next record' into the template (in the beginning of the second, third and fourth address boxes) and try to merge, I get the error msg "You cannot include DATA, NEXT, NEXTIF or SKIPIF fields in headers, footers, footnotes or endnotes." I have tried changing the document type from form letters, to catalog, to labels, to envelopes. None of them work > Thank you Doug, you are a life-saver and it works so easily!! > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > > invitation, I'm ending up with four invitations to the same person.
