I am trying to use the mail merge function of MS Word to create gift
certificates. I have unique information like the employee name, department,
amount etc. that has to be printed on each certificate, so I set up a
template/document, and then a data file with the unique information. The
merge works well when I only have one certificate per page, but I want to
print 3 or 4 certificates per page. When I tried to add multiple
certificates on the same page (by copying the first certificate), I got 3
certificates with the same information. Is there a way to increment the
merge field, so that the data displayed will be from the next record? Any
other suggestions on how to make this work? thanks, tim
