Laying out fields in a merge

M

MikeBSki

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel I'm creating a membership directory from excel to word and will have multiple records on the same page. My question is how to get the fields formatted so that on the same line, some are left and some are right justified, ie:

Last name, first name (left just) (right just) Phone 1
Email (left just) (right just) Phone 2

I have tried highlighting the fields and using L and R justification, but it then applies the L or R justification to the whole line. Is there any way to fix the location of specific fields within the same line?

You can't mix paragraph alignment within the same paragraph, let alone on
the same line :) What you're attempting to do will require the use of Tab
settings or -- more likely -- a 2-column table.

Create the document using Catalog as the document type (Mail Merge Manager)
containing a 2-column by 2-row table. Leave the left column left aligned &
put LastName, FirstName in the first row of that column, email in the second
row. Use right alignment on the second column with one PhoneNumber on the
first row, second phone field on the second row. Otherwise, format the table
as you wish, including No Borders or whatever.
