Publisher 2003 Mail Merge

[Matilda]

I have managed to shrink a certificate template down to fit two on one page,
however when I do a mail merge, it prints the same person's name on both
certificates. Is there a way I can have it print the next person's name in
the mail merge on the second certificate?

You need to have only one certificate on your screen for the merge to be
successful. Look how the certificates are arranged when you have two on your
screen, in a new publication create a custom size in page setup, correct the
margins and gaps so Publisher will say "prints two to a sheet."
Print preview will still show the same information on both certificates, this is
a Publisher bug. If you are unsure there is a text print available.

Are you actually printing the certificates or are you looking at a print
preview? Print preview can only show one name but (if everything else is set
up properly), you'll get different names on your copies.
