A 2 cell table on each page
I am using Word 2003, and am doing a merge from OL using a simple existing
document file which contains a 2 Cell table with one merge field in the first cell and another merge field in the second. When I press "Merge to new document" it sends each record to a separate page, creating a separate 2 Cell table on each of 129 pages. If I place the cursor at the end of the second cell and press delete, it brings the next table up to the former page as I desire. However, I do not want to do that 129 times every time I run the merge. What do I need to do to get it to come out as 1 table with 129 rows instead of 129 tables? Thanks for the help. |

Use a "Directory" merge instead of "Letter."

Thanks Suzanne.
I begin the merge in OL where I click Tools/Mail Merge which brings up the Mail Merge Contacts dialog box. At the bottom of it one is to select the "Type of Document". I think this is where you were suggesting I select "Directory" instead of "Letter". Is that correct? Actually the only options I had we Form letters Mailing Labels Envelopes and Catalog But when I selected "Catalog" which seems a bit like a directory, it worked nicely. Is that what you were referring to? Or is there a better way? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Use a "Directory" merge instead of "Letter." -- Suzanne S.
