I have the same problem - what's the solution?

I have a shell that I have had pre printed by a printer that has 3 separate mailable items per page (the page is perforated, so I can run an 8.5x11 through my printer and separate them for mailing.). I have used text boxes in a Word document to place the data in the correct spots to match the pre printed shell. My problem is I need Word to go to the next record before going to the next page. I have used the Word Merge field Next Record, but it doesn't seem to apply to text boxes, and will print . Do you have any ideas on how I can place my data correctly while still getting them to merge properly?

Use a table with exact row height instead--like three giant "labels" on the
page. Set it up as a Label-type merge.
