how do I stop merge data from repeating?
I am trying to create a directory of names in Word using Merge from an Excel
spreadsheet. There should be two unique records per page and there are. But the second record from page one becomes the first record of page two. This pattern is consistent across all 75 pages of the merge. What am I missing? |

Are you actually executing the merge to the printer or a new document?
Sounds like you may just be looking at a preview of the results and be indexing through the records one by one. If you use a Directory type mailmerge main document, you only need one set of fields in that document. When you execute the merge to a new document, it will contain the data from each record in the data source. -- Hope this helps.
