Keeping word template to 1 page, each record to start on new page
Hi,
I have created a template in Word that is almost a full page. How can I ensure that when I merge from excel, each new record will start on a new page, without inserting a Page Break? When I do the merge, the next record starts at the bottom of the previous record and throws out alignment so they can't be printed as separate records. If I insert a page break, the template would need to be saved with an extra page, and also when merging an exra blank page will be at the end of the merge; both of these are undesirable...if it's possible to avoid this, that would be great! Thanks so much for your help. Yvette. |

Set the mail merge main document type to "letters" and then when you execute
the merge, the text for each record will start on a new page (actually, it is a new Section as a Next Page Section Break is automatically inserted for each new record) -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
