Hi,

I'm trying to merge data into two places on a page. What I need to do is to
have a row 1 go to Area 1, then row 2 go to Area 2, row 3 go to Area 1, row 4
go to Area 2, etc. It's like a label, but my document isn't a label.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
LG

You need to give more information on the layout that you want to achieve.
Where is Area 2 in relation to Area 1?
How many rows of data go on the one page?

Maybe a catalog (on in XP and later it's called directory) type mailmerge
will do what you want. Can't tell from the information provided however.

The document is a 2-up postcard with two locations for unique 4 - 5 line
address info. There will be 2 rows (equals 8 - 10 lines) of data on each
page. NEXT RECORD changes the info in Area 2, but then repeats it in Area 1.
So what I need is for Area 1 to get odd or even rows of data and Area 2 to
get the opposite of what Area 1 gets.

I talk with my hands a lot, so this is really frustrating to explain! I
hope this clarifies
my question.

Sorry, I can't see your hands.

Are you saying that there are two locations on each postcard into which the
merged data is required so that card one gets records 1 and 3 and card two
gets records 2 and 4 for a total of 4 records per page?

Or is it just card one gets record 1, card 2 gets record 2 and then on the
next sheet, card 1 gets record 3 and card two gets record 4, etc?
