Hi there,

I have an Excel Worksheet (2002) that I am using to merge names from into
Word 2002. The €œTent Cards€� are for a large dinner party (220 guests).

These cards are to be (folded in half) and read from both sides €“ therefore
I need to print ½ of each card upside down. The card stock is a typical
Geographics / Avery product €“ their on-line templates only have a name on one
side. The product is 4 up on a 8.5 X 11 page (5.5 X 4.25 X 4)

Now, Ive actually got this working; Set a test page in Landscape, created a
single row, 2-cell borderless table, inserted text boxes and set the text in
opposite vertical directions (one bottom to top and one top to bottom). (I
got that from word.mvps.org €“ Thank You VERY MUCH - I then inserted the
Insert Word Fields (A-FName B-LName and B-FName B-LName) and this all works
fine.

The Problem: Each Word has 4 of these cards on a page - and Word inserts the
SAME field information in all 4 cards on the page. The 2nd page inserts the
2nd row of data name entry from the Excel Worksheet.

Reading the Word help files I get that I need to insert a €œ€œNext Record»€�
field command. However, wherever I try to place that command I get a Word
error that says I cant place that command in €œcomments, headers, footers,
footnotes or endnotes€�, none of which I am attempting to insert it.

The Merge Text Fields are inside of Text Boxs - that are inside of a Table
Cell €“ 8 on the page €“ 2 Cells per card.

I have tried to insert the €œ€œNext Record»€� command at the end of the 2nd
name field, at the beginning of the 1st name field, and in between the four
tables on the page. Nothing seems to work.

I would post an attachment, but read that is not desired.

Thank you for your time!
