When I set up to mail merge a directory, the merge form has four repeats of
the merge fields, each ending with "next record" mergefield. When I print to
a document for more than 4 records (the total is about 500), the printed
document skips the 5th record. What so I need to do to have the directory
use all of the records? I am using Microsoft Office with Excel and Word on
Windows XP. The Office is Student and Teacher Edition 2003

In a Directory Mail Merge you really only need one set of mergefields -
nothing else. I am not sure why you have four sets, but you definitely do
not need a Next Record field after the fourth set of merge fields.

Remove the next record field from the end of the last of the four entries.

Thank you, that did the trick.
