Changing merge options
When you perform a merge, you combine a form document with a data source to form a new set of documents. You can change the default file extensions for merge forms and data files.
Merge options can be changed. For example, you can specify the number of copies to produce for each merged document. WordPerfect lets you separate each merged record with a page break and insert a blank line for each empty field. You can also reset all of the options to the default.
