Sequential ticket numbers and printing 4 to a page

[Neyol]

Hi,
i have mail merged my numbers from excel into my publisher ticket. Thanks
that worked well, now i want to print 4 tickets to an A4 page and in print
preview, i get 4 tickets all with the same number on one page. how do i get
around this?

Many thanks

Print preview showing all the same is a bug. Print a test page.

It sounds like you're merging to a new publication, then printing that.
You can't do that, you have to merge straight to the printer ("Print
Merge"). Like Mary says, the appearance of one record multiple times in
Print Preview is then a bug.

Thank you both very much.

Hey thanks to everyone, I was having the same problem--I thought! I can now
put my project away for the day, having solved the problem. Printing the
tickets tomorrow!
