Is there a way to propogate labels, where each record in the mail merge has
two different labels. I've tried to create labels with a table that has two
columns, the second column repeating only part of the information in the
first column. When I propogate labels, the second column just duplicates the
first column, when really I want the propogation to duplicate the rows only,
not every cell. I want it to look like this (where | is the cell division) :
| Name.«MatterNo»-2F|«MatterNo»|
But when it propogates it looks like this:
|«Next Record»Name.«MatterNo»-2F|«Next Record»Name.«MatterNo»-2F|
I want the NextRecord field to appear only after the second MatterNo.

Propagate the labels in the usual way, change the document type to form
letter, then remove the {Next} record from the second label and every
second other label.

Thanks Graham, that's a help. I'm thinking I may create a template layed out
how I want and re-use it each time.

Save the source document before you run the merge and use that next time.
