MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / May 2006more than one record on a page (Mail Merge)
I want to put two records (from a Access file) on one page in Word (using Mail Merge), how do I do this? Does this make sense? It makes sense, but whether or not it's easy to do depends on exactly what you're trying to do. If you are just trying to merge two records /per page/ then what you do is insert a Word <<Next record>> field in your mail merge main document at the point in the page where you want to start getting the data from the second (and 4th/6th etc.) records from Access. If you're using Word XP/2003 it's usually easier to enable the Mailmerge toolbar (e.g. using Tools|Customize) to do this sort of stuff. If you're trying to do something else, let us know what it is, and preferably what version of Word you're using and what the data source is. Peter Jamieson >I want to put two records (from a Access file) on one page in Word (using > Mail Merge), how do I do this? Does this make sense? I want to print: Joe Blow 34 NoWhere Lane and on the same page print the next record: Bob Smith 123 Dover Street To save paper, I want to cut the page in half with a paper cutter. Can this be done? My version: Office XP... Yes, if you insert the fields you need for the address in the top half of the page, then copy them so that they will print in the bottom half, and put a <<Next record>> field before the bottom half, it should work. You can test this kind of stuff without using paper by merging to an output document rather than directly to the printer. The question is how to get the "bottom half" to print where you want it. One possibility is to create a table with 1 column and 2 rows on the page and use the table properties to fix the height of each row (this is essentially a "Label merge" with two large, custom-size laebls per page).
