Print 2 A5 mail merged tables onto each A4 sheet
in [Page Layout]
|
From: LW_1211 on 18 May 2010 15:37 I have created an A5 document that has a table where fields are filled in by mail merge, there is well over one hundred records so I would like to get two A5 prints onto each A4 sheet. I have tried setting the print dialog to 2 pages but it still only gives me one small print per A4. Is there a way I can make this work?
From: Suzanne S. Barnhill on 18 May 2010 17:13 Don't do it in the Print dialog. Do it in the Page Setup dialog (under "Multiple pages"). Your merge should then work correctly. I can attest that this will work, as I have created a directory set up this way. -- Suzanne S.

From: LW_1211 on 19 May 2010 14:24 Thanks for your reply. I have now tried this and, while it gives exactly the orientation and layout I want, it only prints one receipt per A4 sheet - at the top. I have also tried adjusting the print dialogs with this page setup and it just makes the receipt smaller. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: > Don't do it in the Print dialog.

From: Suzanne S. Barnhill on 19 May 2010 18:01 You do NOT want to do this in the Print dialog at all, only in the Page Setup dialog. Are you sure you're using a "Directory" or "Catalog" merge and not Letter or Label? -- Suzanne S.
