Default Mail Merge to begin after coverpage

Hello,

I would like to do a mail merge, but I wanted to have a coverpage that is
not repeated. For example, I want a coverpage, then after that coverpage I
will have a page that I want to mail merge (this is the page I want
repeated). Everytime I press finish mail merge, my cover page is included and
I dont want this to happen. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Jenna

Hi Jenna,

Try a Catalogue/Directory merge (the terminology depends on the Word version).

Another way to do it (but only with a one page document) would be to use a
{ SECTION } field in place of a { PAGE } field.

If you go the directory, catalog route, you would need to format the first
paragraph in the mail merge main document so that it has a Page Break before
it.

Hope this helps.

You would need to Cut the cover page from your mail merge main document,
then execute the merge to a new document and the with the selection at the
top of that document, use Ctrl+V to paste back the cover page.

This assumes that there are no merge fields on the cover page. If that is
not the case, see the following page of fellow MVP Graham Mayor’s website:

http://www.gmayor.com/ManyToOne.htm

Or, for more complex, but in some respects more capable methods, see fellow
MVP Macropod's "Word 97-2007 Catalogue/Directory Mailmerge Tutorial" at:

http://www.wopr.com/index.php?showtopic=731107

or

http://www.gmayor.com/Zips/Catalogue%20Mailmerge.zip

Do read the tutorial before trying to use the mailmerge document included
with it as you must get the mail merge main document set up exactly as
required.
