Default Word 2003 - help with merge setup

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.
