Denise,
It is also recommended that you do not use the Address Block feature, but
use the individual mergefields in the document.

Using Word 2003. Using a Microsoft postcard template to communicate with
20 students about an upcoming event. Database for students is in Excel.
The
address location on the template is a text box. I'm using the Merge
wizard
as usual. Inserted Address Block Field for first card and Next Record and
Address Block for second card and forward. Error message comes up that
says
I cannot insert Next into header, footer, endnotes, etc. then it inserts
only the first students address onto every card. I've been using Merge
for a
long time but I'm evidently missing something obvious. Anyone interested
in
enlighteneing me?
Thanks!
Been continuing reading posts for similar problems. Seems that although
Address Block works fine in a text box - Next Record does not. Working
through the suggestion to create a table but still getting the same error
message regarding Next Record. Can't treat these postcrds as labels since
using Current Document is not an option. The postcard content has already
been wriiten, just trying to merge the names on the right hand side.
Frustrating that this should be so difficult.
Thanks for any help that comes my way.
