Mail Merge directory
I need to create a directory that shows several entries on a page rather than
one entry per page. Any ideas? |

Mail Merge directory
Use a Directory (or in versions before XP, it is called Catalog) type mail
merge main document. Set that document up with one set of mergefields and the text that you want to go with them in the configuration that you want. You will probably want to format all of the paragraphs EXCEPT for the last one so that they are kept with next and ALL of them so that the lines are kept together to prevent the information from a record being split over two pages. With this type of merge, there is no need for any Next Record field. When the merge is executed, the setup will be replicated as many times as will fit on a page, before a new page is started. -- Hope this helps.
