Here is my problem.
I am creating cards (4 up per page). On the front side i want to print some
information from a word database in the sequence of row 1: record 1, 2 row
2: record 3, 4. However on the back (second run through the printer), I want
to print some more info from the database, but now the record sequence is row
1: record 2, 1 row 2: record 4, 3 and so on.
So now i have to create a formula to print the data in this new sequence.
Any ideas??

The following code was put together for someone who wanted to compile a
document by taking alternate pages from separate files. If you were to
execute two separate mail merges to individual documents, you could use this
code to then combine them into one and then duplex print them to get what
you want.

Dim sourcea As Document, sourceb As Document, target As Document, Pages
As Integer, Counter As Integer, targetrange As Range 'targetrange added

Dim evenpage As Range

Set sourcea = Documents.Open(FileName:="...")

sourcea.Repaginate

Pages = ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropert yPages)

MsgBox Pages

Set sourceb = Documents.Open(FileName:="...")

Set target = Documents.Add

target.PageSetup.LeftMargin = sourcea.PageSetup.LeftMargin

target.PageSetup.RightMargin = sourcea.PageSetup.RightMargin

target.PageSetup.TopMargin = sourcea.PageSetup.TopMargin

target.PageSetup.BottomMargin = sourcea.PageSetup.BottomMargin

target.AcceptAllRevisions

Counter = 0

While Counter Pages

sourcea.Activate

ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\page").Range.Copy

Set targetrange = target.Range

targetrange.Start = targetrange.End

targetrange.Paste

ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\page").Range.Cut

sourceb.Activate 'Assumed to be the document containing the even
pages

Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory 'Line of code added to start from the
end of the document

ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\page").Range.Copy

Set targetrange = target.Range

targetrange.Start = targetrange.End

targetrange.Paste

targetrange.Start = targetrange.End

targetrange.InsertBreak Type:=wdPageBreak

Set evenpage = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\page").Range

evenpage.Start = evenpage.Start - 1

evenpage.Delete

Counter = Counter + 1

Wend

sourcea.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges

sourceb.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges
