mailmerge two records side by side
..NET getting to you g
I think that you meant "one row, two column" Regards, Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Cindy M -WordMVP-" wrote in message news:VA.00009639.01b3ecae@speedy... Hi Hcoms, I agree with Doug, either a label type or a catalog type would do the trick. Personally, I might choose the catalog type as then I wouldn't be getting a section break at the end of each page... Set up a two row, one-colum table and insert the mergefields. Now, position the cursor just before the first entry in the second cell, and then insert a NEXT field from the "Insert Word Field" toolbar button list. I am using word 2000 and presently i am using the catlog type of merge. My mail merge consists of a number of items such as title, name and address. As opposed to have a continous list of records i would like to show records in pairs , side by side. So instead of having one lot of records ( title,name and address) after the other i would like on the left hand side of the page ( left hand column in a table) to show the first record ( title,name and address) and on the right hand side show the next record. e.g. instead of record 1 record 2 record 3 Appearing one after the other i would like record 1 | record 2 record 3 | record 4 Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Sep 30 2003) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |

mailmerge two records side by side
Thank you for all your help. What i am doing is fairly complicated in that a
form is displayed in word which depending upon the selection of checkboxes executes a webpage which is then downloaded as a CVS file to the users hard drive. With this CVS file it is combined with another word document , the template file that i use to create the mail merge document. This is a catolog type mail merge. What i did thanks to all your advice is to create a table with one row and two coloumns. In the left hand column i inserted the mailmerge fields and in the right hand column i inserted nextrecord before the mail merge fields. In hindsight ( which if i could bottle i would be a rich man) it is actual quite simple! Thank you all again! "Cindy M -WordMVP-" wrote in message news:VA.00009652.0066858b@speedy...
