The Next Record field can be inserted from the Insert Word Field
Pulldown. To see that, from the Tools menu, select Letters and Mailings
and then click on the Show Mail Merge Toolbar item.
Alternatively, position the cursor before the first Merge Field in the
second set of fields in the Mail Merge Main Document and press Ctrl+F9 to
insert a pair of field delimiters { } and inside them type NEXT. Use
Alt+F9 to toggle off the display of the field codes.
I would caution against using text boxes. A two column one row table with
fixed row height would be a better option.

This should be easy -- it was in 2000 -- but 2003 is giving me fits.
I am pulling data from an MS Access Database into a Word Doc. to create
hang tags which will contain information regarding various pieces of art
for a little local art show. The information include piece #, Artists
name, technique... and a brief little story. All this information is in
the Access Database.
I am trying to create the hang tags in Word -- Landscape view. I want to
put 2 per page -- with a border around the information. (We will later
cut each page in half). I have the information set up in two large text
boxes. I also have small graphics inside the text boxes.
I have setup my master document -- and the information displays
correctly for the FIRST RECORD. I can set it up to do one record per
page -- but then I'll be wasting 1/2 sheet of paper for over 150 pages.
In Word 2000 I could use next record... -- but I don't see the option
for advancing to the next record to set up the 2nd text box on a single
sheet of paper.
Can you help?
Thanks in advance.
