Mail Merge Question

[Guest]

Hello,

I've created a main document and data source to do a mail merge. The main
document only consists of:
<FirstName> <LastName>
<Address>
<City>, <St> <Zip>

I have only 2 records in my data source right now. When I clicked merge to
see what the finished product would look like I saw that Word did not split
the data into 2 separate documents--they are directly underneath each other
like this:

Jane Doe
123 Apple
Miami, FL 12345
John Doe
444 Smith
Miami, FL 12345

How do I get them on 2 different pages?

Thanks,
Studebaker

Set the document type to Letters and merge to a new document. It appears to
be currently set at Directory/catalog.

Thank you, Graham. I just realized I was working in 2000 which doesn't have
that icon on the mail merge toolbar but I'll be working in 2003 starting soon
which does.

Appreciate the help.

In Word 2000 you set the document type from the Mailmerge Helper - Item 1
