Publisher 2007 - Maile Merge - Next Record

[Milissa]

I'm trying to create a directory. I could teach anyone how to do it in 2003.
I've been using Publisher for years! Playing with mail merge in Publisher
2007, I can't find where to insert NEXT RECORD.

If I just copy & paste the fields as is, it will repeat the first record
over and over again. Already searched through other Q/A's related to
Publisher 2007 and mail merge. Any advice welcome.

Thanks!

Having a Next Record command in Publisher doesn't make any sense, as
Publisher is a layout program, not a word processor.

Note that there has never been a Next Record command in Publisher. There
was certainly not in Publisher 2003.

Look up Catalog Merge in Publisher Help. This will tell you how to set
up your document. The procedure is much the same as it was in Publisher
2003.

Word 2003 had Next Record, as did many earlier versions of Word.
