Hi Hcoms,

I agree with Doug, either a label type or a catalog type would do the
trick.
Personally, I might choose the catalog type as then I wouldn't be getting
a
section break at the end of each page...

Set up a two row, one-colum table and insert the mergefields.

Now, position the cursor just before the first entry in the second cell,
and
then insert a NEXT field from the "Insert Word Field" toolbar button list.

I am using word 2000 and presently i am using the catlog type of merge.
My
mail merge consists of a number of items such as title, name and
address. As
opposed to have a continous list of records i would like to show records
in
pairs , side by side. So instead of having one lot of records (
title,name
and address) after the other i would like on the left hand side of the
page
( left hand column in a table) to show the first record ( title,name and
address) and on the right hand side show the next record.
e.g. instead of
record 1
record 2
record 3

Appearing one after the other i would like

record 1 | record 2
record 3 | record 4
