I searched the forum for "next record" and got no hits, so I am starting a new topic.
I have a template for membership cards which I have successfully used in MS Word and LibreOffice. It is essentially a labels format, except it contains an image and specific formatting. With a bit of tweaking I was able to use it in TextMaker, and the fields populated. But what is missing is a "Next Record" field. As it is, when I attempt to print the cards all cards are of the same record.
Is there an equivalent of the "Next Record" field in TextMaker? If not, how can I get this document to merge correctly?
Thanks for your help.

Re: "Next Record" in mail merge?
Thanks very much for the reply, but I have given up. I really wanted to like Softmaker Pro, and it works well for almost everything else I've tried, but there are just too many problems with mail merge. I have reluctantly purchased and installed MS Office 2019, and it works perfectly, just as it always has.
