To get a report formatted the way I want I'm trying to
just do a merge into Word. Problem is then only one
record per page shows up. I can't seem to get all the
records on one page. Any suggestions?
 
Hi dyaussi

in Word are the records separated by a page break? (you might need to turn
your "show hide paragraph marks" on - or go into normal view to see (view /
normal) .. if so, does deleting the page breaks solve your problem (you can
use edit / replace - more - special) to delete all page breaks at once.

Cheers

Use the functionality in Word to print all records on a single page. If you
can't find the solution in Word Help, then consider asking this question in
a Word news group.

Hi Dyaussi,

I did not test if this link still works,
but Cindy has the answer (plus much useful
advice) if you have not found it.

In Tools/Mail Merge create a Catalog type of merge, rather then form letter.
This will ensure that there are no section or page breaks between the
records.

Good luck,

in WORD use the merge field NEXT
like

{field your fieldname} {NEXT}
{field your fieldname} {NEXT}
