I don't want too much. I have a 6-page mail merge document. I want to do
a merge and then print multiple copies so that all of the pages for the
first person's first copy are printed, then all of the pages for the first
person's second copy, and so on. With Word, I can either print one copy
for each person before going back and printing a second copy for everyone
(collated) or I can get all the copies of the first person's first page
followed by all the copies of the first person's second page, and so on.
You'd think they would have thought of this. Even if there's a limitation
in the printing interface (though "collate in groups of N pages" shouldn't
be _too_hard), you should be able to order the output of the mail merge to
achieve the desired effect. But no. I have to mess with the data going
into Word to get what I want.
What I get for using the program in the first place, I suppose.
