Tables in a Mailing Label Mail Merge
I want to know how to include a two-column table per mailing label in my
address label mail merge. I am trying to replicate a patient chart label on a medical record for a training class I am offering. When I tried to do this, I get one page of labels (30 total) with the first row of data on my Excel spreadsheet. The second page of labels is the second row of data on my spreadsheet. I want one page of labels (30 labels total) with my 30 rows of data from the spreadsheet. |

Tables in a Mailing Label Mail Merge
You need to replicate the setup in the first label in the mail merge main
document to each of the other labels on the sheet and before the first merge field in each of those other labels, you need to insert a Next Record field. -- Hope this helps.

Tables in a Mailing Label Mail Merge
Further to Doug's comments, you are not going to achieve this with columns,
or a label merge. You need to create a new table document from the label wizard, which will give you the correct label sizes, then split each cell vertically to give you your columns. Create your merge entry in the first split label and add a Next Record field to the start of the left cell. Then copy and paste the split cells to the rest of the split cells on the page. Finally remove the Next Record field from the first cell. The procedure is similar to that shown at http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_graphics.htm Set the document type as Letter and add your data source (http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm ) then merge to a new document -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Doug Robbins - Word MVP wrote: You need to replicate the setup in the first label in the mail merge main document to each of the other labels on the sheet and before the first merge field in each of those other labels, you need to insert a Next Record field.
