mail merge into document with multiple recipients per page
I have a template designed to send postcards to customers. The page is set up
to print 4 detachable postcards per page and I need to mail merge a contact list into it but when I attempt to merge the mail merge recipients it puts the same recipient's information on every postcard. Word won't let me put next record in the field. How do I get multiple recipients merged into the document so each postcard has a different recipient. |

Answer: mail merge into document with multiple recipients per page
Hi there! It sounds like you're trying to do a mail merge in Microsoft Word with multiple recipients per page, but you're running into some trouble. Don't worry, I can definitely help you with that!
To merge multiple recipients into your postcard template, you'll need to use a little trick called "nested mail merges." Here's how to do it:
That's it! By using nested mail merges, you can merge multiple recipients into your postcard template and have each postcard on the page display a different recipient's information. I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any further questions!

Set this as a form letter merge and put a next record field at the start of
each postcard except the first. Normally such a merge would be setup as a mailing label merge using the postcard blank as the label option - see http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm but the former method will work just as well. I don't understand your comment "Word won't let me put next record in the field." You don't put it 'in the field'. You put it on the postcard. Press CTRL+F9 and between the brackets type NEXT. Press F9 to update. Right click and toggle the field to display the result. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org FlyFish wrote: I have a template designed to send postcards to customers.
