When working on mail merges in Word, you have a source
document and a master or main document that combined,
produced a seperate MERGED DOCUMENT that you can edit and
then print. I can't figure out how to produce a MERGED
DOCUMENT within Publisher. I have a source document that
I import into a master or main document, but if I edit
that document, I change every page in that document. For
example, I have an insert field called Publication Name.
After I hit VIEW MERGE I can skip through the document and
view names that have been imported to replace the
Publiscation Name insert field, for example, Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Jones and Mr. and Mrs. John
Doe. However, let's say that I only want Jane Doe to be
listed on that last page, instead of both names. If I try
to change that in the document, then everywhere the
Publication Name merge field exists, I get Jane Doe...it
changes ALL of them. Does this make sense? I want to
edit in a seperate WORKING document like I do in
Word...how do I do this?
