Thanks sir for a prompt and useful response,
after going through and following your advise I found that the two merged
letters printed on one sheet alright. absolutely perfect.
The hitch is: on first sheet two letters are printed, say for students A and
B each.
BUT, the other paper prints letter for Band C!. Is ther any way to force
Word to print letter for student C and D on the other sheet?
I hope I can explain my question.
letters for students A to Z, to be printed like this: on first sheet for
student A and B. On the other sheet for C and D. still another should print
letter for student E and F. Like that....
any clue??
can any settings in Print dialogue box help?
like s1,s3,s5,s7 as 'Pages to Print'?
Thanks a lot.

Probably best to set the page orientation of the mail merge main document to
Landscape mode and insert three column by one row table in the document.
Reduce the width of the central column so that it will give an appropriate
margin when you cut the page in two and make the first and the last column
of equal width. Then set up a copy of the letter in both the first and the
last cell and before the first merge field in the third cell, insert a Next
Record field. When you execute this merge, you will get two letters on each
page.

Sir,Thanks for prompt response.
I have already done exactly what you have advised.
but the print becomes too small to be of any importance or -as you can
see-
of not any weight for the receiver.
What in my mind was, IS it possible to print two pages ( 100% of the
document) seen on the monitor? i.e. without reducing the size of the text.
Also,this way, it does not print in portrait lay out. When I tried to
print
by zooming 2 pages per sheet, it printed in Landscape layout.
Also, Layout option to (in Layout properties of the Print dialogue of HP
Laserjet6L printer) 2 pages per sheet did not help.
Even,in 'page setup' option of paper 2 pages per sheet did not help.
I tried to print sections { in pages s1 -s100} also, giving 2 pages per
sheet option.

A decent looking document with two merged (papers) documents on one sheet
is what my goal.
zoom, naturally reduces the size of the document.
Please enlighten me and oblige.
thanks.

Execute the merge to a new document and then in the FilePrint dialog,
select Two pages per sheet under the Zoom section of the dialog.

Hello!. After merging 100 students' name and data in to a small 5 line
document that is to be posted to parents of each student, it is
uneconomical
to print it. I want to print TWO merged pages on a single sheet of A4
size
paper.so that it is more economical to the authorities.
Please show me the way.
Thanks a lot.
Kindly send a copy of the reply to " also.
Many thanks.
