Mail merge order
I have a large file that I exported from Access that contains Student Names
and their degrees. I need to do a mail merge to place the names into a seating chart for graduation. The seating chart is a table that I have created. My problem is that I need the names to be inserted from bottom to top and right to left. Which is just backwards from the normal way. Any suggestions would really be appreciated. I have tried sorting them in inverse order but then my back row which is the top is filled and the front row has just a few. |

Mail merge order
As far as I can tell, the simplest solution is probably to add a few lines
with blank details to the top of your data source, but it depends on whether you need to do that for more than one page in your plan. Peter Jamieson "Kathy G" wrote in message ...

Use a Query in Access to get the records into the order that you want them.
Access also has a Label Report Wizard that can probably be used to do what you want. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Kathy G" wrote in message ...
