mail merge

[Richard]

Why does the mail merge omit every other entry in the
data file when it shows the merged file?

Do you have a <<Next record>> ({ NEXT }) field in your mail merge main
document?

Hi Richard,

Why does the mail merge omit every other entry in the
data file when it shows the merged file?

Almost impossible to say, based on this little bit of
information.

- What version of Word
- What's the data source
- Are you doing a labels merge, or a form letter

Right off hand, try pressing Alt+F9 and look for a NEXT
field, near the end of the main merge document, I'd say. If
you find it, delete it. Alt+F9 again to hide the field
codes.
