Question about section 5- is it possible to have multiples of the same field (but different records) within the same page?
I have a small business where I create my own shirt tags. I pint 8 tags per 8.5x11” page and have my shirt style and size on each tag. When putting the merge fields in and generating, I get 1 page (8 tags) with the same shirt and size. How do I fix this?

Really appreciate the huge amount of effort you put into this tutorial. Thank you!

[@barryculham9897]

I would suggest that you put a halo or somehow make your cursor stick out. It would make it easier to follow where you are clicking

I need some help with type. Not the type itself, but the 'space' around it. In the process of working on a project, the space around the type was transparent, but I must have done something, because when I have it on top of a color rectangle, there's white around it. Is there a quick fix? thanks

My page size is 4 in by 6 inch.facing pages starting on right. I have flowed in my material. I usually try and create a booklet and self-publish not trying to make millions on amazon or anything like that, Just self print these for local consumption. Anyway when I go to print and create booklet it goes for a scosh and then I get a Print workflow error and stop. Any ideas?
