Mail merge into 3-col landscape doc

[Martha W. Stone]

We are setting up a form that will be printed and we will then print our own
information (like name, address, etc) on the form as needed. Our old format
for this form was three to a page, in portrait layout. This was simple to
merge information into.

Now, we are creating the form to be three across a landscape page. How can
I merge into this type of format without bumping lines down and messing up
all proceeding pages?

Does this make sense?

Previously you probably had

<a bunch of fields>
<<Next record>>
<a bunch of fields>
<<Next record>>
<a bunch of fields>

To do three columns, you could try either
a. use Format columns to create a 3-column layout and put

<a bunch of fields> in column 1, followed by a column break

<<Next record>>
<a bunch of fields> in column 2, followed by a column break

<<Next record>>
<a bunch of fields> in column 3

or
b. create a 1-row, 3-column table and put <a bunch of fields> in cell 1,
and <<Next record>> followd by <a bunch of fields> in cells 2 and 3.

Does this make sense?

If my answer doesn't make sense, then I guess I misunderstood the problem

This makes sense. I'll try it both ways and see what happens!

Thanks...
