Using mailmerge, print to 4 columns, 2 at a time
I'm working on a directory booklet. It will contain fields like labels,
giving names, addresses, and phone # for a few hundred people. I'm landscaping letter size paper, and I want to print 4 columns with 7 "labels" in each column, but they need to print left to right, top to bottom on the left side of the page in columns 1 & 2, then left to right, top to bottom on the right side in columns 3 & 4. Any ideas? |

Using mailmerge, print to 4 columns, 2 at a time
Set up your main document so that it has two columns (FormatColumns). In
the left column, insert a one row, two column table and insert the mergefields into the cells of that table (the same fields in each) and insert a Next Record field before the first merge field in the second cell. When you execute the merge to a new document (the only possible destination for a directory type mail merge) you will get the arrangement that you want. You may need to set the row height of the table in the main document to an exact figure so that you get the seven "labels" that you want. -- Hope this helps.
