Printing Business Cards

[GRayL]

When I store individual names in a Publisher merge file,
I cannot print a full page of a particular individual on
my business card sheet of ten blanks. I get one card per
person in the merge file. When I generate an individual
business card I have no problem. Any ideas?

Brian: I did all that. In my test database, I have two
names. When I select merge print, I get one properly
formatted business card for each name in the top row. I
want a full page for each name, or ideally, 5 to 10 pages
for each name. There's the rub! I suppose I could put
each name in 50-100 times but I thought these things were
supposed to save me time!

Don: I have concluded that what I want to do cannot be
done. As you said, I can create a file for each name and
then "fill my boots". However, I had visions of creating
a file for a company, and in the mergefile, store the
name, phone, email, etc. for each individual in the
company. I was hoping Publisher would let me select a
record, and then give me as many cards as I wanted. Oh
well! Somewhere else maybe.

Thanks for your help
