Next Record merge field with text boxes
I am creating a page of merge fields which has 4 individual recipe fields on
it. Since I need to switch back and forth from 1 column to 2 columns for formatting purposes, I had to use two text boxes for columns. When I insert the "next record" merge field anywhere on the page, though, my text boxes merge empty. Any suggestions? THANKS! Heather Moody ) |

Next Record merge field with text boxes
I would suggest that you don't use textboxes (I personally hate them), but
use tables instead. Though it's only set up for one per page, you can see how I set mine up he http://www.officearticles.com/downloads/ (recipes.zip) ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Hand Prints" Hand wrote in message ...

Text boxes are in the graphics layer of the document so the merge doesn't
see the fields they contain.
