How do I merge the Next Record in Publisher?

[Mark Hall]

I am trying to create a school directory using our school's Microsoft
Publisher 2002. I would like all of the information to be formatted into two
columns running down each page. I cannot seem to figure out how to get the
<<next record>> function to work. Any assistance is appreciated.

There is no Next Record function. It has little to no meaning in a DTP
application, anyway.

The easiest way to accomplish this would be to use a Catalog Merge, but
that is only found in Publisher 2003 and later.
