Default more than one record on a page (Mail Merge)

Yes, if you insert the fields you need for the address in the top half of
the page, then copy them so that they will print in the bottom half, and put
a Next record field before the bottom half, it should work. You can test
this kind of stuff without using paper by merging to an output document
rather than directly to the printer.

The question is how to get the "bottom half" to print where you want it. One
possibility is to create a table with 1 column and 2 rows on the page and
use the table properties to fix the height of each row (this is essentially
a "Label merge" with two large, custom-size laebls per page).

I want to print:

Joe Blow
34 NoWhere Lane

and on the same page print the next record:

Bob Smith
123 Dover Street

To save paper, I want to cut the page in half with a paper cutter. Can
this
be done?
