Mail Merge to print as continuous document
I am attempting to prepare a document to merge more than 2500 records. The
final document should print one record after the other, moving to the next page when the page being printed is full. The data to be merged comes from an MSAccess database containing approxinately 50 fields per record to filter. There are several nested IF statements involved in my merge script. The final printed records are not identical as to the number of fields printing, so they will differ in length. The final document is meant to print to 8-1/2 x 11 pages. I get one record per page when i merge the document. What do i need to do to get one continuous document? I am using Word 2003. Thank you. LCalaway |

You probably have the merge type set to "Letters". Change it to
"Directory" - e.g., ensure the Mailmerge toolbar is enabled via View-Toolbars, then click on the first button and select the Directory option in there. However, you then have to merge to a new document before you can print.
