Hi all,
I am going around in circles trying to do something that should be simple, or so I thought. I have a two page mailmerge doc (Word 2002) that I want to print the first page from one bin and the second from another. That's easy if one embeds a page break. However, this document has two sections, one per page, with different margins. After hours and hours of experimenting, I have to assume that Word will only let me do one or the other.

I can specify a section break and get my margins, but Word ignores the FirstPage and OtherPages settings. If I remove the section break and insert a page break, I get the proper bin behavior, but the margins go to hell. If insert both, it works except that I get a blank page in the middle!

Forget the mailmerge, does anyone know simply how to print a two page document from Word itself that honors the bin setting AND margin settings?

Thanks,

Gary
