Word Mail merge - all records on same page. Possible? 1

[mp9]

Hi,

I know it sounds like an odd thing to ask, but I have a one-off need to create a mail merge document in Word that lists the Title, Forename and Surname from an existing data source (another Word doc) all on one page rather than one record per page as in a conventional mail merge. Is this even possible?

And if not, is there a way to do it other than a mail merge?

Thanks in advance.

You would have to know how many records there are. If you were merging into a table, for example, for the second to how ever many rows you need a NEXT RECORD code at the beginning of each row. Also, in word there is a Database toolbar, which has an Insert Database icon, which you could use to insert info from a database.

Will making a page of labels serve your needs?

Thanks Ben, the NextRecord code was exactly what I needed.

You do not need to use NextRecord nor do you have to use more than one table row if you define your Main Document as Directory or Catalog. See thread68-1177787 for an example.

I'm sure Lilliabeth's earlier suggestion accomplishes the same thing.
