Mail merge into columns with variable length data?

I believe you need to have an empty paragraph after the paragraph you
entered.

It sounds to me as if you need to do a Catalog/Directory-type merge into a
multi-column page.

I'm using a table to give me control of the exact size, should this work?

No «Next Record» field is required in this type of merge;
Word gets it automatically.

OK, I've just done a test. My only text in the merge document is:

Surname [^l]
Tel [^p]

Is this what you mean? Because this code only inserts the first record in
the database, although I can scroll through them all with the Next Record
in
the Preview group on the ribbon (so the source is OK).
