Mail merge into booklet will not print right

[TheresaS]

I am trying to get a Publisher 2003 document to center staple the booklet. I
am having trouble. When I print many copies of the blank addressed booklet
the printer understands & will complete each 8 pages as one job with the
double center staple. When I do a mail merge, the program preview looks good
for each entry - only 8 pages - but when I go to print, the printer takes all
of the information as one job & will staple as many newsletters as possible
together into one clump. How can I set up the document so that when it merges
the information it is many jobs & not only one?

Publications are not individually collated and stapled when you use the mail
merge feature to print in Publisher 2003, Publisher 2002 or in Publisher 2000

Thank you for your response. I tried changing the records per batch & it did
not work. Do you have any other suggestions? I see that Publisher 2007 is
having the same problems, so which version does work with the collate &
center staple? Is it specifically a Publisher issue or can it be fixed by a
desktop binder utility? What are my options to fix the problem?

I don't know if this is the same registry fix that is outlined in the Microsoft
article.
