mail merge

[jen.brenneman]

I want to print multiple entries on a single page. For example, I am
printing four postcards addressed to four different people on a single
page, but Publisher will only merge four postcards addressed to the
SAME person. Each Excel row gets its own page in this program. My
colleague has been able to fix this problem, but doesn't know how she
did it. Can anyone please help me before I throw this machine?

Thanks!

This might be just in your print preview. If you actually print the items
out, all the names should appear. This is a known bug.

You need to set up the merge properly. You don't set up one page with four
cards on, as Publisher wouldn't know how to separate the data. You need to
set up a single card as your page size, and adjust the multiple copies per
sheet options to fill a page of copies. This will then show one recipient
per sheet of paper in print preview, but will print as many recipients per
page as you have cards per page.
