Default Word 2003 SP2: Missing records in mail-merge from Excel to directory

That is the right asnwer.
Did MS change the way things work? Not that it matters, as long as I know.

I will try that this evening. I did not notice if alternate records were
omitted, which might make sense.

It probably should not be there. Definitely it should not be there if
you are using a catalog or directory type mail merge main document.

Hi,
Yes, there is a Next Record field at the end of the text frame.

How do you have the mail merge main document set up? Specifically, do
you have any Next Record fields in it?

I keep my address book in Excel. The column headers are my own (see
below). There are extra columns like Sort Key (so I can sort the
address book). To print out a copy, I make a new document as a
directory, with multiple columns and each entry in a text frame. I
select all entries. But some entries do not appear in the output. Any
idea why?
