Default mailmerge

Cookie -

The only time you would use the Next Record command is when you want the
next record in the database. In your example I would have

First Name Last Name
Blah blah blah
Start of Second Page
First Name Last NameNext Record

Word will stick in a Next Page Section Break when you actually perform
the merge.

Give that a go, and let us know.

I am mail merging a 2 page letter. the first and second pages both contain
exactly the same merge fields. ie first name, last name etc and refer to the
same people in an Access database. When I attempt to merge the data to the
letter the data transfers to the first page of the letter but not to the
second page. I am using the following method: first name last nameNext
record
first name last nameNext record

I have tried formulating the two pages of the letter as separate documents
and copying one document to the other but still get the same result.

I would be grateful for any help
