Default "Assigning" records for merge

I have a 1 page Word doc that has 2 columns on it. The left and right
columns have identical data, they are just on 1 page to save paper when
printed.

I also have an Excel file with a column containing different sets of
numbers.

I have the Word doc pulling the different sets of numbers from Excel,
and it looks great... Except Word is defining each individual record as
the entire page, rather than allowing me to have 2 records on each
page.

Basically I want on the first physical Word page, Record 1 on the left
column and Record 2 on the right column. Then on the second physcal
page, Record 3 of the left column and Record 4 on the right column. And
so on...

Can I change how Word decides what a "record" is or does it do that
based on each page.

I've tried adding Next Record before the merge field in the second
column, to no avail.

Thanks in advance!
