Thanks Suzanne:
I tried your technique and it worked fine however, there seems to be a
limitation. The "envelopes and labels" screen for entering text doesn't
allow such features as spell check, advanced formatting, etc.
Nevertheless, I actually have a substantially different situation then
described in my original post. So let me try to elaborate.
I am a teacher and keep my students' grades on an Excel spreadsheet. There
was a need for me to send notices home for my 50 students regarding their
grade. So I used the spreadsheet as a data source and performed a mail merge
with three data fields (first name, last name, grade) and some general text.
Fifty short individualized letters were created and I wanted to print two
letters on each 8.5" x 11" of paper. I tried various page setup and print
options but couldn't get it to work.
Considering the time I expending trying to accomplish this task, it would
have been more cost & time effective to have printed each letter on it's own
8.5" x 11" sheet. It's just frustrating! What did I miss? I notice that each
letter is on different segments of page 1. Does this have something to do
with my difficulty?
