I've been unable to figure out a way to turn the clock back myself so if you
get a response on how to do that, please post it here. ;-)

This from Ed Bennett:

Most versions of Publisher I've come across print merges in batches of 10
records.

There is a way you can set the number of records per batch using the
Registry (fix courtesy of KATMA)

Attached is a registry file which sets the batch size for Publisher 2002 to
1, so each record will have its own print job, which should allow the
stapler to staple correctly.

(The .reg file will work on Windows XP, but might not work on 98. If it
doesn't, use the instructions below)

Open registry using regedit.exe

Go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0 \Publisher\Printing

Create new "string value" called:
NumberOfRecordsPerBatch

Double click and set a value for your batch size (0, or 99999, in this
case).
