I need to use Next Record Mergefield in Publisher 2007, but where is
it?
Somebody in another forum claims that you don't need it because
Publisher is a "layout program and not a word processor".
If true, then I have purchased a lemon of a program that will not do
the most basic of functions, laying out three invitations per A4 sheet
that are personalised using mailmerge and a database (in this case, in
Word). Oh yes, this wonderful version of Publisher will give you a
merged document - with three identical invitations on each page, and
thus three times the number of pages that you should need. And I want
to print on gold paper ...

Please folks - find me a way out of this predicament - I've got little
enough hair left as it is.

[Is anybody else who recently "up"graded to Office 2007 experiencing
what I am - that half the things that used to be simple and even
sometimes reasonably intuitive are now impossible, or take forever to
find - not just once, but every time, because they are not in
intuitive places]?
