...thanks Rich. I don't think I have explained the problem very well so I'll
try again.
For an example: The first page of the letter will contain details from the
first 8 records in the database, hence the use of 'next record' after each
mergfield. The second page requires exactly the same data to be taken from
the same first 8 records in the database. The difference between the two
pages is purely in the added text. I have tried omitting the last 'next
record' on the first page to see if the merging proces will recognise the
request for data from the database as a new request for the second page but I
still get the same result.

Try removing the "Next Record" field from your document/template. If the
information on page two, is identical to page one, you don't need that
field.

I am mail merging a 2 page letter. the first and second pages both contain
exactly the same merge fields. ie first name, last name etc and refer to the
same people in an Access database. When I attempt to merge the data to the
letter the data transfers to the first page of the letter but not to the
second page. I am using the following method: first name last nameNext
record
first name last nameNext record
I have tried formulating the two pages of the letter as separate documents
and copying one document to the other but still get the same result.
I would be grateful for any help
