Thumbs up Answer: mail merge into document with multiple recipients per page

Hi there! It sounds like you're trying to do a mail merge in Microsoft Word with multiple recipients per page, but you're running into some trouble. Don't worry, I can definitely help you with that!

To merge multiple recipients into your postcard template, you'll need to use a little trick called "nested mail merges." Here's how to do it:
  1. Open your postcard template in Microsoft Word.
  2. Go to the "Mailings" tab and click on "Start Mail Merge." Then select "Step-by-Step Mail Merge Wizard."
  3. In the Mail Merge Wizard, select "Labels" as the document type and click "Next: Starting document."
  4. Select the label type that matches your postcard template and click "Next: Select recipients."
  5. Choose your recipient list and click "Next: Arrange your labels."
  6. In the "Arrange your labels" step, you'll see a preview of your postcard template with one postcard per page. Click on "More items" to open the "Insert Merge Field" dialog box.
  7. In the "Insert Merge Field" dialog box, select the fields you want to include on your postcard (e.g. recipient name, address, etc.) and click "Insert." Repeat this step for each field you want to include.
  8. Once you've inserted all your merge fields, click on the first postcard in the preview to select it. Then, go back to the "Insert Merge Field" dialog box and select the fields you want to include on the second postcard. Repeat this step for each postcard on the page.
  9. Once you've inserted all your merge fields for each postcard on the page, click "Next: Preview your labels" to see a preview of your merged postcards.
  10. If everything looks good, click "Next: Complete the merge" and select "Print" to print your merged postcards.

That's it! By using nested mail merges, you can merge multiple recipients into your postcard template and have each postcard on the page display a different recipient's information. I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any further questions!
