Re: Address Book with mail merge

hmm, as for the filling line after line instead of column after column, that seems like a setting based on how the <next records> were placed. ie pasted line by line, instead of column by column. one of those weird nuances with the program, unless it defaults always to line by line.

this may seem a backdoor way of doing it, but can you reorganize the records so that they flow with the page? it may seem like even more work; but i use excel and you could throw some weird sorting into the sheet to get it to flow. ie drop a count in a fake column, that skews the ordering. i have no idea what count would be (im not that mentally agile).

in terms of it printing beyond the borders, mess with the draggable margins above that constrain text rather than the size of the page. i have the same issue with Avery labels.
