Thank you for all your help. What i am doing is fairly complicated in that a
form is displayed in word which depending upon the selection of checkboxes
executes a webpage which is then downloaded as a CVS file to the users hard
drive.
With this CVS file it is combined with another word document , the template
file that i use to create the mail merge document. This is a catolog type
mail merge. What i did thanks to all your advice is to create a table with
one row and two coloumns. In the left hand column i inserted the mailmerge
fields and in the right hand column i inserted nextrecord before the mail
merge fields.
In hindsight ( which if i could bottle i would be a rich man) it is actual
quite simple!

Thank you all again!
