When merging a database with Word, How do I print more than 1 rec.

[Guest]

I am creating a Word doc that I'm merging with an Access database. If you
can, visualize 1 sheet of paper with a text box in the top half and a text
box in the lower half. When I merge it with my database, it prints the exact
same information in both text boxes. I want to get 2 records per page not 1.
Any suggestions?

Thank You.

At a guess, you've set this up as a "form letter" merge with two
mergefields on the page, both connected to the same field in the Access
table or query. In that situation, all the mergefields in the master
document will get their data from the same record.

To switch to the next record part way through the document, insert a
"NEXT" mailmerge field. ALternatively, consider setting it up as a
"catalog" or "directory" merge: these are designed to get multiple
records onto a single page.
