I found the directory, but it causes problems with the outline numbering in
my document. What I need to happen is to format ALL the footers in the
document to link to the previous so that the page numbering will sequence.

How do I do that? It would be easier.
I did figure out a work-around. After merging the documents into one long
document, I did a find and replace and replaced the section breaks with a
manual page break. This broke the numbering by section.

I am trying to create a catalog of information on different systems that
will
include page numbering for the whole document and a Table of Contents. I
have
the data in an excel spreadsheet and thought it would be straightforward
using mail merge in word. However, the final merged document still behaves
as
a series of individual documents. I cannot get the document to number from
1-128. It keeps numbering 1-3 ( the number of pages that it took to
document
each separate system).
