Thanks for your input Itendo. The dragable margins in Publisher's catalog merge do not drag. They are only constrained by the page size. In Access reports you can determine record flow, but Access does not have a "catalog" merge (or I can't find it"), so each record prints out with the same entry. This whole situation came about because Daytimer, about 10 years ago, discontinued their address book software which I have on 6 floppies. It won't run on Vista, even if I had a floppy drive. I own a lifetime supply of paper (custom perferated to have 2- 3.75" x 6.75" pages on a 8.5" x 11" sheet. With my duplex laser printer I can print two sides at a pass. I just thought that either Access or Publisher should allow me to produce a template. I can sort of do it with publisher if I could restrain the printinng area and somehow have it alphabetize the pages by flowing up and down the columns. I can remember the "old days" of computing when you could actually talk to a Microsoft engineer. The last time I actually was able to talk to someone at Microsoft was two hours that I was on the phone having them help me with a "Sven" virus I picked up in 1998, or 1999. And then they reached the conclusion that I would have to "Illuminate" my hard drive, as nothing worked to get rid of "Sven". Symantec could do nothing either, and I then was able to talk to their tech people. It seems that the "Sven" virus eats Symantec' removal tools.
