Default Tent Card Mail Merge Trouble

Hi Doug, and thanks. I understand this instruction but for one thing and
that is that I do not know how to "get" a Next Record field. Do I "get"
it simply by typing the characters??? (Yikes, sorry.....)

Place the Next Record field before the first mergefield in the second

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
services on a paid consulting basis.

I have a mail merge set up for tent cards. The problem I am encountering
is
that the template and the cards have two cards on a page/sheet. But when
I
do the merge, I get the same person's name on BOTH cards (the first two
cells, and also the second two cells).

I think I understand that I need to enter into my main document a next
record; however, the place I found this advice (an archive here in the
discussion group) explained it in a way that was frankly, above my
head.....I
didn't grasp it. Can anyone describe in very step-by-step directions...or
guide me to some instructions that are simple? Or perhaps there is
another
way to accomplish same thing?

Thanks.
