Mail Merge Project
I have worked with mail merge for labels and letters but I want to take data:
student name, absence 1, absence 2 and grade and use the merge to fill a form like: Student 1 Grade Absence 1 Absence 2 Student 2 Grade Absence 1 Absence2 Student 3 ...... etc. I do not want a new form for each record, I want all records to show on one page much like mail merge labels would?? Can anyone help? |

Mail Merge Project
Use a catalog, or in Word XP and later it is called "directory" type
mailmerge main document in which you insert a one row table and place the merge fields inside the cells of that table. Do not put anything else into the document. When you execute that merge to a new document, that document will contain a table with one row of data for each record in the data source. -- Hope this helps.

Hi,
If you want all recods on one page, when you start mail merge, do NOT select form letter, use choice of CATALOG (or in Word XP and later, it is called a DIRECTORY. So you will have field codes all on one line, ended by Next Record field code.
