Can't merge in Publisher. Unable to add Next Record field.

Hello,

I am trying to merge mailing addresses onto postcards laid out in Publisher.
There are two 5.5" x 8.5" cards on the page and I can add merge fields to
successfully get addresses onto the cards, but the two cards always have the
same address...I need the Next Record field, but it isn't available in
Publisher like it is in Word.

Any suggestions?

Thx,
Drew - Please email me at

Are you looking at print preview? This is a bug in the Publisher program.

Other wise, to merge you can only have one card on your screen for the merge to
work properly. Setup your page for custom, 8.5 width and 5.5 height, portrait.
Publisher should default to two cards per page.
