Can I keep my records from spanning pages?
Hi, all. I have a fairly typical mail-merge job to do - I'm going to
create a paper directory of our church members, taking the data from an ODBC database (MySQL). So it will look something like: lastname, firstname addressLine1 addressLine2 addressLine3 city, state ZIP phone1 phone2 phone3 -- doublespace to start next record I have a couple of basic questions: 1) How can I prevent a record from spanning multiple pages? i.e. how can I tell Word that, if it can't fit an ENTIRE listing for a person in the space left on the page, it should automatically go to the next page and print the record there? 2) Is it possible to "collapse" the record if, say, addressLine2 and addressLine3 aren't in the original MS-Access database? I don't want it to print 2 blank lines - I want it to go straight from the lastname, addressLine1 line to the city, state zip line. I have Word 2000, XP, and 2003 to work with. If it's possible to accomplish these goals on all 3 versions, that'd be nice! If not, I'll take instructions for any version you can make to work. Thanks to anyone who can help! |
