Using mail merge for nametags, how'd you get 8 diff. on each pg?

How do I print off a different name on each name tag in order to print them
out a page at a time? I entered the names in mail merge and it will print
them, just a whole page of each.

Thanks

This is the same question that has brought me here. I've been trying to
figure it out for over 2 hours now and am about ready to pull my hair out.
Please help!

Design with a single card on the screen, then use the Page Setup options
to lay 8 cards per page out. Ignore Print Preview; print a test page.
Use Print Merge; don't merge to a new publication.

Two problems... firstly, on Page SetUp I can't see anything about options
other than changing paper sizes. What I have done is to choose a small paper
size and then select multiple pages on print setup. The second problem is
that when I use my merge all my cards come out exactly the same. Any ideas?
Is there something obvious I've missed!

You really should start a new thread. Are you using Version 2007? It does make a
difference.
