In the Main Merge doc I have:
fname
fname

In the Data doc I have column heading and two names
fname
Bill
Mike

When I merge, Bill, of course, replaces each fname with Bill and looks
like this:
Bill
Bill
What I want, is this:
Bill
Mike

Is this possible?

Any help is appreciated.

It is possible by either using a Directory type mailmerge main document in
which you would only have

fname

When you execute such a mailmerge to a new document, then you will get

Bill
Mike
etc. for all of the records in the data source

Alternatively, you would need to put a Next Record before the second
mergefield

fname
Next Recordfname

But that only works for two records and if you have more than two records,
the next two will appear on the next page.

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
services on a paid consulting basis.
