Default 1 page, different records

Hello,
I'd like to print different records (with several fields each) in the same
sheet, and I'd like them to be in 3 different columns.
The 1st column looks just fine, but when I try to replicate the fields in
the 2nd column, what I get are the fields for the same record as in column 1,
not those for the following record.
How should I do this?
Thanks,
Anna

Default 1 page, different records

Insert a Next Record field before the first mergefield that you want to
contain the details of the next record. In your case, that would mean at
the beginning of columns 2 and 3. Do not put one before the first merge
field in column 1 and the data for that field will automatically come from
the next record when the merge facility commences a new page. The Next
Record field is available from the Word Fields list.
