 |
|
My frustration level with this suite of programs is about to boil over...hopefully someone will have a simple fix to this latest problem I've encountered.
I created an 'intro' letter for potential clients. There are database fields at the top for name, firm name, address, etc. Below that there is the salutation line. Everything seems to be working fine (ie, info is filled in from the DB).
Next is an introductory paragraph followed by several bulleted points, a small paragraph, then more bulleted points. I can print one record at a time without any problems; but, if I attempt to print more than one record (and as there are 150 records I don't need to be hitting print 150 times) I get a bunch of crap. The first page will be ok, but the following pages will have bullet points on every line at the left hand margin. Anyone care to enlighten me as to what is happening? Thanks |

No, not using the mail merge wizard. Am using File-->Print. I have no idea what other information would be relevant.
I constructed a doc and used the F4 command to drag pertinent fields into the doc (name, address, salutation, etc). I choose File:Print...a popup appears that asks: Your document contains address database fields. Do you wish to print a form letter? I choose "Yes". Another popup appears titled "mail merge". From there I can select individual records, or groups of records. The document will print fine if I print them one at a time. If I try to print two or more docs only the first one will be fine and the rest will have bullet points against the left hand margin for every line of print in the doc.
Lastly, I can find no information in the link you posted that is of benefit. It appears I am making all the correct choices as mentioned in that article. |
