MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / May 2006Propogate labels problem
Is there a way to propogate labels, where each record in the mail merge has two different labels. I've tried to create labels with a table that has two columns, the second column repeating only part of the information in the first column. When I propogate labels, the second column just duplicates the first column, when really I want the propogation to duplicate the rows only, not every cell. I want it to look like this (where | is the cell division) : | Name.«MatterNo»-2F|«MatterNo»| But when it propogates it looks like this: |«Next Record»Name.«MatterNo»-2F|«Next Record»Name.«MatterNo»-2F| I want the NextRecord field to appear only after the second MatterNo. Propagate the labels in the usual way, change the document type to form letter, then remove the {Next} record from the second label and every second other label. http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm  Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> > Is there a way to propogate labels, where each record in the mail > merge has two different labels.
