Re: On mail merge

Okay Mary,

I guess we're not communicating well.

Okay, you say that I can only have ONE membership card on my screen.

But How then do I print 8 cards on the same paper page just as I can print
labels or other items with the next record command in Word?

Obviously, I would not want to print one small card per page. I want to do a
whole page and then cut them.

How can I do it easily? Or is there a way to do it so you can see how the
cards line up on the page and tweak it to the right layout.

Thanks,

Dr. E
