Using Word 2008 for Mac to Create a Mail Merge

[lwcaputo]

I am having problems creating a mail merge. I have an Excel spreadsheet (Excel 2008 for Mac) and am trying to create a directory of names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. in a Word 2008 for Mac document. When I do the merge, it only puts the info from the first record on the first page. I want to have several records on one page in a two-column format.

Suggestions?

PS...I have added the «Next Record» field, but it doesn't work.

I've had the same issue before. What I had to do was take half the records, move them into new columns in the Excel spreadsheet, and then rename those columns to "First Name 2", "Last Name 2", etc. Not the greatest solution, but it worked.

If added correctly, then it should work. How and where did you add the «Next Record» fiield?

I added the "next record" field to the labels following the first label.

I added the "next record" field to the labels following the first label.

Try it at the start of the second label.
