Newbie merge question - 4 cards / 1 page

[Patrick Cormier]

Hello,

I have created invitation cards, 4 per page in a Word document, and want to
use the Word 2000 mail merge feature in order to personnalize the
invitation cards.

I've correctly setup an address book as a data source, but when I merge, I
get the same same on the four invitation card on one page, then on the next
page I get the next name (record) 4 times, etc...

How do I get Word to recognize that I only want one record for each card?

Thanks!!

patrick

ok - I found how to use the "Next Record" field at:

You have to put a { NEXT } field before the 2nd, 3rd and 4th cards. The {
NEXT } field looks like <<Next record>> in one of Word's views. You can
insert this field using ctrl-F9 to insert the {} and typing NEXT betweeen
the {}.
