How can I place Next Record mark-up in Publisher 2003?

I'm having the same trouble-4 duplicate cards per page rather than 4
addresses per page. Mine doesn't fix itself when I print as it seems to have
done for everyone else. I'm using Publisher 2003, and have used Publisher
templates. Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

Otherwise as JoAnn pointed out, in print preview they will appear all the
same.
If it is the former, you must have only one card on your screen for the
merge to perform correctly.

When doing a mail merge in Word, you can use the Next Record mark-up
to
print the next record in the database even though you have not moved to
the
next page in your document. This same behaviour seems to be absent in
Publisher.

I am creating a birth announcement in Publisher 2003 (Professional
Edition)
to print on Avery 3381 Postcards/Index cards. These print 4 to a page.
When
I include my data source of addresses and print, I get 4 post cards to
the
same address per page instead of 4 different addresses per page.

Any assistance would be appreciated (even a statement that this is not
possible in Publisher is helpful).

Thanks,

The postcard template will not work correctly with a merge unless you setup the page
first. In page setup, click change copies per sheet, select the Print multiple copies
per sheet button, Publisher should default to four cards per sheet. You need to have
two publications, one for the merge and the other for page two unless you have a
duplex unit.
Open a new instance of Publisher, copy/paste the un-merged side of the card into the
new postcard publication. Delete the second page in the original publication.

Mary:

My unit duplexes, so I shouldn't have to set up a new file. I'm not sure I
understand your directions. I've set up the page for multiple copies per
page. If I select one copy per page, I get one postcard smack dab in the
middle of the page. If I select multiple copies per page, I get 4 postcards,
but they print 4 copies of the same address rather than 4 different addresses
per page. How can I get it to scroll through the addresses rather than
creating a page per address?

Thanks,

Janette

Are they printing the same address or are you looking at print preview? In print
preview all the cards will be the same, it is a program bug.
Open the Mail and Catalog Merge, follow the steps outlined.
What are you using for your database?
Are you certain you only have one card on your screen? Don't convert your merge to a
publication.

There is lots of help here.

Mary:

Yes, I'm actually, physically printing, and they are printing 4 copies of
the same address per page. I followed all the steps for the mail merge, and
am using an Excel file for my address database. Yes, I only have 1 card on
the screen. What do you mean, don't convert the merge into a publication? I
have over 300 addresses, and I'm not going to blindly tell it to print if I
can't be sure that it will work correctly.

Thanks so much for all of your help,

I'm having the same problem in WORD. It worked fine in previous versions. Now
I can't insert NEXT without getting an error message when I try to merge.

Same problem her in Publsher 2007. The 4-up mail merge does NOT work for me,
despite having read all postings that seem to pertain to this.

The selection for "Multiple copies per sheet" vs "Multiple pages per sheet"
and the "Number of copies" are adding to the confusion.

And lastly, if I have front and Back pages and activate the 2-sided print
option, does that affect this in any way?

Merge doesn't always work the way it should when you have are editing two cards
in the same publication.
Setup two separate publications for the front and back.
When you merge you want to use the "multiple pages per sheet."

I have found using a pre-formatted Avery postcard seems to work better than
manual setup. 3263 works well.

Mary:

Cool, that worked. Is the following the procedure? Feel free to edit and
repost.

When creating 4-up postcards with mailmerge in Publisher 2006, this is the
best procedu

- Start with the Avery 3263 template
- Create the back of your postcard as a 1-page card (and create the front in
another Publisher file using the same template)
- Do the mailmerge thing and format and position the mailing label, if needed
- In the mail merge wizard section select "Print", DO NOT select "Print to
new publication" or "Add to excisting publication..."
- In the printing options, make sure you select "Multiple Pages per sheet"
- Make sure you keep the number of copies to 1
- Don't pay attention to the preview screen, it wll show the wrong thing
- Flip (or turn) your paper as needed for your printer, open the Publisher
file for the front side and print that.
- Rejoice!

Thanks

mark-up
to
print the next record in the database even though you have not moved
to
the
next page in your document. This same behaviour seems to be absent
in
Publisher.

I am creating a birth announcement in Publisher 2003 (Professional
Edition)
to print on Avery 3381 Postcards/Index cards. These print 4 to a
page.
When
I include my data source of addresses and print, I get 4 post cards
to
the
same address per page instead of 4 different addresses per page.

Any assistance would be appreciated (even a statement that this is
not
possible in Publisher is helpful).

Thanks,

Randy
