= SUMMARY =

In a series of linked Microsoft Word for the Macintosh documents, you cannot suppress the page break at the start of each document, so the information at the end of one and beginning of the next document prints continuously on a page.

This function is not supported in Microsoft Word at this time.

To link two or more files so each file continues on the same page where the previous one left off, use the print merge INCLUDE statement.

For example, if page 1 of Doc1 in the illustration below ends halfway down the second page, you can insert an INCLUDE statement. After a print merge, the text of the included document will begin where the first document left off.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The following illustration shows text before using the INCLUDE statement:

Doc1: Doc2: ____________________ ___________________ | This is text | | …and this is | | in document | | text in document | | number one… | | number two. | | <> | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |__________________| |__________________|

The following is the result after a print merge:

-


 * This is text | | in document | | number one… | | …and this is | | text in document | | number two. | | | | | | | | | |__________________|
