Hello,

I have membership information (names, addresses, etc.) in a spreadsheet that
I want to "merge" into a word document so that it looks like a directory.
What I have in mind is sort of an "advertisement" style, where each member's
information is in its own text box.

For example, if I want to put four text boxes on each page, how do I create
the word document to pull the information from the spreadsheet? Please help?
 
Don't use text boxes! Use a 2 x 2 table instead and create the merge as a
"label" type, using one of the "postcard" label definitions that have four
to a page. You can add borders to create the box effect.
