In Mail Merge how do I get 4 different address blocks on one sheet
I am using Word - Mail Merge with an address database in Excel. I want to
print 4 post cards on one sheet of 8.5x11 inches card stock which I will have cut into the individual post cards after printing. I want to print four different addresses on the 4 post cards (one address on each). Presently, the same address appears on all 4 post cards and then the next sheet contains the next sequential address on each of the 4 cards on that sheet. How can I do what I want??? Thanks very much in advance. Stevox |

Place the usual merge fields in 4 places. In front of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th,
insert a Next Record Word field. ************ Hope it helps! Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com Check out the NEWsgroup stats! Check out: www.ExcelUserConference.com "Stevox" wrote in message ...

Anne,
Thanks so much. Your answer was not totally correct but it put me on the right track. I experimented and found the I could use the INSERT - FIELD - MAIL MERGE - "NEXT" to accomplish the task. Your input was wonderful as I was able to go to the help section with your "Next Record" to discover the answer. Thanks so much for your help.

If you insert the field from the Insert Word Field pulldown in a Mail Merge
main document, without the field codes turned on, it will appear as Next Record. If the field codes are turned on, it will appear as { NEXT } The Next field that you insert by selecting Fields from the Insert menu is the same thing, though with field codes turned on, it will be { NEXT \* MERGEFORMAT }. If you toggle off the display of field codes, it will also appear as Next Record. -- Hope this helps.

Anne was quite correct - it depends on where you insert the field from what
it is called. Incidentally, postcards four to a page are a standard mailing label merge using the appropriate label format. http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Stevox wrote: Anne, Thanks so much.

Thanks very much in advance. Stevox Graham, You are right, Anne was correct and I answered her before I knew enough about Mail Merge. Also, thank you for letting me know that 4-up post cards are one of the formats for Mail Merge Labels. That will undoubtedly make my life much easeir in the future. Stevox |
